Product Description
Travel light and shoot with confidence.
Capture beautiful portraits with softly blurred backgrounds, then zoom in with
super-telephoto power and capture nature, sports and more. Nikon's second
generation Vibration Reduction (VR) enables shooting at shutter speeds up to 4x
slower than would otherwise be possible and makes a tripod optional; but when
one is needed, the lens automatically delivers specialized VR correction for
tripod shooting.
The ultimate medium to super-telephoto zoom lens.
If youre looking for a compact, versatile telephoto zoom lens that handles
portraiture as well as it handles long-distance wildlife and action photography,
look no further than the AF-S NIKKOR 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR. With the
broadest focal length range in our super-telephoto zoom line-up, it reduces the
number of lenses you need to carry into the field; and expands your handheld
shooting capabilities, thanks to Nikons Vibration Reduction (VR) technology.
Create spectacular photos and HD videos in nearly any light, from nearly any
distance.
Any subject. Any distance. Remarkable versatility and performance
Travel light. Shoot with confidence. The AF-S NIKKOR 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR
covers the broadest focal length range of any NIKKOR super-telephoto zoom lens.
At 80mm, its an ideal medium-telephoto portrait lens. Create stunning portraits
with a medium telephoto perspective and softly blurred backgrounds. At 400mm,
its a powerful super-telephoto lens suited to wildlife and action photography,
with or without a tripod. For dazzling close-ups with macro detail, get as close
as 5.7 feet from your subject and zoom in to 400mm"you'll be amazed by the
results!
Sharp, beautiful images in any light - Nikon's VR image stabilization with
Tripod Auto Detect
At super-telephoto focal lengths, even the slightest camera movement can cause
image blur. Fortunately, the AF-S NIKKOR 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR features
Nikon's second-generation Vibration Reduction technology to ensure every
handheld photo and HD video is razor-sharp. It also lets you shoot at shutter
speeds 4-times slower than otherwise possible, a major advantage in low-light
situations where a slower shutter speed means brighter, richer images. The AF-S
NIKKOR 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR even detects when you're using a tripod and
automatically delivers specialized VR correction.
A lifetime of brilliant performance - Nikon innovations for consistently
stunning images
Nikon's innovations in optical design and lens technology have given way to a
remarkable new class of NIKKOR lenses. The AF-S NIKKOR 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR
is among them. From its Silent Wave Motor (SWM) for ultra-fast, ultra-quiet
autofocusing to its Extra-low Dispersion (ED) glass elements for maximum
contrast and minimum lens flare and ghosting, you can expect a lifetime of
consistent brilliant performance. The AF-S NIKKOR 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR is
equally at home on DX- or FX-format Nikon cameras.
ED (Extra low Dispersion) and Super ED Glass
ED Glass is an optical glass developed by Nikon that is used with normal optical
glass in telephoto lenses to obtain optimum correction of chromatic aberrations.
Super ED glass exhibits an even lower refractive index and lower light
dispersion than ED glass, while excelling at eliminating secondary spectrum and
correcting chromatic aberration.
Vibration Reduction
A Nikon in-lens technology that improves image stability by automatically
compensating for camera shake. Lenses that offer VR will feature the
abbreviation VR on the lens barrel.
Silent Wave Motor
AF-S NIKKOR lenses feature Nikons Silent Wave Motor (SWM), which represents a
significant advance in AF lens technology. SWM uses ultrasonic vibrations"rather
than a gear system"to focus the lens, providing incredibly smooth, silent and
precise autofocus operation.
IF Lens
A NIKKOR lens in which only the internal lens group shifts during focusing.
Thus, IF NIKKORS do not change in size during AF operation, allowing for
compact, lightweight lenses capable of closer focusing distances. These lenses
will be designated with the abbreviation IF on the lens barrel.
Nano Crystal Coat
An anti-reflective coating developed by Nikon that virtually eliminates internal
lens element reflections across a wide range of wavelengths. Nano Crystal Coat
solves ghost effects caused by red light and effectively reduces ghost and flare
caused by light entering the lens diagonally.
Super Integrated Coating
Nikon Super Integrated Coating is Nikon's term for its multilayer coating of the
optical elements in NIKKOR lenses.
A/M
A/M stands for Auto-Priority Manual Mode. This mode also enables an easy
transition from autofocus to manual during AF operation. However, mode switch
sensitivity has been altered to reduce the possibility of sudden unintentional
switching to manual focus while shooting.
M/A
Select NIKKOR lenses have a focusing mode which allows switching from automatic
to manual focusing with virtually no lag time by simply turning the focusing
ring on the lens. This makes it possible to seamlessly switch to fine manual
focusing while looking through the viewfinder.
