ARecognizing CPU and Type G and D Lenses
CPU lenses (particularly types G and D) are recommended, but note that IX-NIKKOR lenses
can not be used. CPU lenses can be identified by the presence of CPU contacts, type G and D
lenses by a letter on the lens barrel.
Type G lenses are not equipped with a lens aperture ring.
AThe AF-S/AF-I Teleconverter
The AF-S/AF-I teleconverter can be used with the following AF-S and AF-I lenses:
AF-S NIKKOR 70–200mm f/2.8G ED VR II
AF-S VR 70–200mm f/2.8G ED
AF-S 80–200mm f/2.8D ED
AF-S VR Micro-Nikkor 105mm f/2.8G IF-ED*
AF-S NIKKOR 200mm f/2G ED VR II
AF-S VR 200mm f/2G ED
AF-S NIKKOR 200–400mm f/4G ED VR II
AF-S VR 200–400mm f/4G ED
AF-S NIKKOR 300mm f/2.8G ED VR II
AF-S VR 300mm f/2.8G ED
AF-S 300mm f/2.8D ED II
AF-S 300mm f/2.8D ED
AF-I 300mm f/2.8D ED
AF-S 300mm f/4D ED
AF-S NIKKOR 400mm f/2.8G ED VR
AF-S 400mm f/2.8D ED II
AF-S 400mm f/2.8D ED
AF-I 400mm f/2.8D ED
AF-S NIKKOR 500mm f/4G ED VR
AF-S 500mm f/4D ED II
AF-S 500mm f/4D ED
AF-I 500mm f/4D ED
AF-S NIKKOR 600mm f/4G ED VR
AF-S 600mm f/4D ED II
AF-S 600mm f/4D ED
AF-I 600mm f/4D ED
*Autofocus not supported.
Af/8 Autofocus Support
If the lens can be used with the AF-S/AF-I
teleconverter and has a maximum aperture of f/4,
the apparent aperture will drop by two stops to f/8
when the lens is used with a TC-20E/TC-20E II/
TC-20E III teleconverter, or by one-and-a-half stops to f/6.8 when the lens is used with a
TC-17E II.
The focus points shown in the illustrations can be used for autofocus and
electronic rangefinding when an AF-S teleconverter is attached.
When used with TC-20E/
TC-20E II/TC-20E III, focus data for focus points other than the center focus point are obtained
from line sensors. Single point AF is used when 3D-tracking or auto-area AF is selected for
AF-area mode (099); at maximum or combined apertures slower than f/5.6, the camera
may not be able to focus on dark or low-contrast subjects.
