xFocus.

If desired, autofocus can be over-ridden by rotating the lens focus ring while the shutter-release button is pressed halfway (or, if the camera is equipped with an AF-ONbutton, while the AF-ONbutton is pressed). To refocus using autofocus, press the shutter- release button halfway or press the AF-ONbutton again.

■Vibration Reduction (VRII)

Vibration reduction (VRII) reduces blur caused by camera shake, allowing shutter speeds up to four stops slower than would otherwise be the case (Nikon measurements; effects vary with the photographer and shooting conditions). This increases the range of shutter speeds available and permits hand-held, tripod-free photography in a wide range of situations.
