Nikon AF-S VR User Manual

A F - S V R N I K K O R 3 0 0 mm f / 2 . 8 G I F - E D

High speed super-telephoto lens for Nikon digital SLR
and 35mm SLR cameras with fast handling, fast operation
and outstanding optical performance.

Vibration Reduction (VR) technology compensates for typical
camera shake and extends your ability to shoot at shutter
speeds that are up to three-stops slower than would be
possible with a lens without VR technology. Nikon VR
technology automatically detects panning action, and with
Active Mode selected you can enhance your ability to shoot
from unsteady platforms such as moving cars or aircraft.
VR On/Off mode allows conservation of battery power.

Three Extra Low Dispersion (ED) glass elements effectively
diminish secondary chromatic aberrations while retaining
ruggedness and durability associated with glass elements.

Nikon’s New Super Integrated Coating, complimented
by Nikon Nano-Crystal AR coat, further minimizes ghost
and flare to provide even higher contrast, and more vivid
images, even in challenging light conditions.

PRO DUC T D ETAIL

Nikon's exclusive Silent Wave Motor enables ultra-high
speed autofocusing with exceptional accuracy and
super-quiet operation.

Internal Focusing (IF) design provides smoother, lighter
and faster focusing and helps improve the lens’ overall
balance and handling characteristics.

Meniscus protective glass element protects the lens’
front optical surface and also helps to eliminate potential
internal reflection off a digital SLR’s sensor.

Focus Mode switch enables quick-switching between
M/A (Manual-Priority Autofocus) and M (Manual Focus).

Focus Preset function instantly recalls a preset focal point.

Focus Limiter switch limits AF-servo movement
to a selected shooting distance range.

Compatible with Nikon TC-17EII (1.7x), TC-14EII (1.4x),
and TC-20EII (2.0x) teleconverters, extending flexibility.
