DC Defocus- Found in a few lenses aimed mostly at portrait
Image Control photographers; allows control of aberrations and
thereby appearance of out-of-focus areas in the image.
DX DX lens Lenses specifi cally designed for DX-format digital
cameras (see introduction to this chapter).
G Type G lens Modern Nikkor lenses with no aperture ring; aperture
must be set by the camera.
ED Extra-low ED glass minimizes chromatic aberration (the
Dispersion tendency for light of diff erent colors to be focused
at slightly diff erent points).
IF Internal Only internal elements of the lens move during
Focusing focusing: the front element does not extend or rotate.
M/A Manual/Auto Many Nikkor AF lenses off er M/A mode, allowing
seamless transition from automatic to manual
focusing.
N Nano Crystal Said to virtually eliminate internal refl ections
Coat within lenses, minimizing fl are.
RF Rear Focusing Lens design where only the rearmost elements move
during focusing; makes AF operation faster.
SIC Super Integrated Nikon-developed lens coating that minimizes
Coating fl are and “ghosting”.
SWM Silent Wave Special in-lens motors which deliver very fast and
Motor very quiet autofocus operation.
VR Vibration System which compensates for camera shake. VR
Reduction is said to allow handheld shooting up to three stops
slower than would otherwise be possible (i.e. 1/15th
instead of 1/125 sec.). New lenses now feature VRII,
said to gain an extra stop over VR (1/8th instead of
1/125 sec.).
