Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the AF-S Nikkor 300mm f/4D IF-ED. 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 F6, 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 SLR cameras, such as the D4 and D300S. 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.
