Technology
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.
Silent Wave Motor AF-S NIKKOR lenses feature NikonÕs Silent Wave Motor (SWM). This technology converts Òtraveling wavesÓ into rotational energy to focus the optics. This enables high-speed autofocusing that's extremely accurate and super quiet.
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.
Super Integrated Coating Nikon Super Integrated Coating is Nikon's term for its multilayer coating of the optical elements in NIKKOR lenses.
