Nikon's exclusive SWM (Silent Wave Motor) guarantees extremely precise, fast and quiet autofocus, with the option to quickly switch to manual focusing when desired
IF (Internal Focusing) technology for fast AF adjustment makes it possible to use circular polarising filters and flash accessories on the lens because the length of the lens is constant and the front element does not rotate
VR II provides the equivalent stability of shutter speeds that are 4 stops faster (determined in Nikon tests). Normal mode compensates for vibrations when shooting handheld, Active compensates for mechanical vibrations
Two ED glass lens elements minimise chromatic aberrations and ensure high resolving power and contrast
Focus modes: automatic with manual override and manual only
