3. Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the AF-S NIKKOR 400mm f/2.8G ED VR lens.
This is a high performance lens featuring special Vibration Reduction
(VR) and high-speed Internal Focusing (IF) mechanisms. It also employs a
Silent (S) Wave Motor to drive the focusing mechanism. Focus preset is
also provided.
Major features
b
Two AF modes (p. 24)
Autofocus can be overridden by setting the focus mode switch to
"A/M" or "M/A" and manually focusing with the focus ring.
M/A: Autofocus can be overridden by manually focusing with the focus
ring. This mode should be used for fine-focusing.
A/M: Autofocus can be overridden by manually focusing with the focus
ring, but focus ring detection sensitivity is lower than in M/A
mode. Use this mode to avoid canceling the AF setting by
unintentionally moving the focus ring.
b
Limiting the range of autofocus (p. 24)
Focus time can be reduced by setting focusing limits.
For example, if a subject is at least 6 m (19.7 ft) away, set the focusing
limit switch to ∞ – 6 m.
b
AF-L/MEMORY RECALL/AF-ON (p. 25)
Focus distances can be locked and saved during autofocus (AF-L) and
then recalled by pushing the "MEMORY RECALL" button. Autofocus is
restarted on the lens by setting switch to AF-ON.
