Advanced and versatile FX-format standard zoom with VR II image 
stabilization. 
Covering a versatile wide angle to medium telephoto zoom range, the new AF-S 
NIKKOR 24"85mm f/3.5-4.5G ED VR delivers noticeably sharper photos and HD videos 
thanks to Nikon's second-generation Vibration Reduction technology (VR II). 
Shoot at shutter speeds up to 4-times slower than would otherwise be possible 
for greater low-light capability, and enjoy the benefits of Vibration Reduction 
during HD video recording"even when using a tripod. 
 
A range of possibilities - Versatile 3.6x standard zoom for brilliant photos 
and HD videos 
The AF-S NIKKOR 24"85mm f/3.5-4.5G ED VR covers wide-angle and medium 
telephoto perspectives, making it a great multipurpose lens for photography and 
HD video recording. At its widest focal length (24mm on FX-format D-SLRs, 36mm 
on DX-format D-SLRs) it's ideal for travel, landscapes, interiors, group shots 
and more. At its longest focal length (85mm on FX-format D-SLRs, 136.5mm on 
DX-format D-SLRs), it's ideal for close-ups, portraits, interviews and more. 
 
Razor-sharp, high contrast results - Nikon's VR II Image Stabilization with 
Tripod Auto Detect 
Nikon's second generation Vibration Reduction technology (VR II) enables 
handheld shooting at shutter speeds up to 4-times slower than would otherwise be 
possible. That opens up new possibilities for low-light shooting. Slow down the 
shutter speed to capture maximum natural light without sacrificing sharpness. 
Nikon's VR II also includes tripod detection, which automatically recognizes 
when your camera is mounted on a tripod and delivers a specialized VR correction 
that is ideal for HD video recording. 
 
Unwavering performance - Nikon innovations for consistent performance 
Nikon's innovations in optical design and lens technology have brought forth 
a remarkable new generation of NIKKOR lenses with unparalleled versatility. The 
AF-S NIKKOR 24"85mm f/3.5-4.5G ED VR is no exception. From its Silent Wave Motor 
(SWM) to its Super Integrated Coating (SIC), Extra-low Dispersion Glass Element 
(ED) and Aspherical Lens Element Design (AS), the AF-S NIKKOR 24"85mm f/3.5-4.5G 
ED VR is an advanced lens that draws peak performance from today's D-SLR and HD-SLR 
cameras. 
 
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, which represents a 
significant advance in AF lens technology. 
 
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. 
 
AS 
AS stands for Aspherical lens elements. This type of lens utilizes 
non-spherical surfaces on either one or both sides of the glass in order to 
eliminate certain types of lens aberration. 
 
Super Integrated Coating 
Nikon Super Integrated Coating is Nikon's term for its multilayer coating of 
the optical elements in NIKKOR lenses. 
 
ED (Extra-Low Dispersion) Glass 
An optical glass developed by Nikon that is used with normal optical glass 
in telephoto lenses to obtain optimum correction of chromatic aberrations. 
 
IF Lens 
A NIKKOR lens in which only the internal lens group shifts during focusing. 
These lenses will be designated with the abbreviation IF on the lens barrel.
