Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the AF-S Nikkor ED 300mm f/4D IF. This is a high-grade,
internal focusing (IF) lens employing a Silent Wave Motor to drive the focusing
mechanism, thus the “S” designation. As a result, autofocusing is smooth, silent, and
almost instantaneous.
Major features
•Autofocusing possible with Nikon F5, F4-Series, F100, F90X/N90s*, F90-
Series/N90*, F80-Series/N80-Series*, F70-Series/N70*, F65-Series/N65-Series*,
Pronea 600i/6i* and Pronea S cameras, and Nikon Digital Camera D1. Also
provided: autofocusing with manual override and autofocus range limiting via a
focus limit switch.
•Manual focusing using focus assist as well as autofocusing possible with all Nikon
AF camera bodies, except the F3AF.
•For more accurate exposure control, subject distance information is transmitted
from the lens to the camera body, providing 3D Matrix Metering and 3D Multi-
Sensor Balanced Fill-Flash with appropriate Nikon cameras and Speedlights.
*Sold exclusivley in the USA.
