• Advanced Vibration Reduction (VR): VR technology allows you to shoot handheld at shutter speeds up to 4.5 stops slower, reducing camera shake for sharper images.
• Silent, Fast AF with Stepping Motor: The Stepping Motor ensures ultra-fast, near-silent autofocus, ideal for both stills and video.
• Weather-Resistant Build: Designed to withstand challenging environments, with sealing to protect against dust and moisture.

Exceptional Telephoto Reach for Action and Wildlife:

• 70-300mm Focal Length Range: Whether you’re capturing sports events, wildlife, or travelling, this 70-300mm lens offers the flexibility to zoom in on distant subjects. When used on a DX-format camera, it provides an impressive 105-450mm equivalent reach, making it ideal for getting closer to the action.

• Minimum Focus Distance of 1.2m: Throughout the zoom range, the lens offers a minimum focusing distance of 1.2m, allowing you to fill the frame with subjects, whether shooting distant wildlife or close-up details. The 0.25x maximum reproduction ratio gives you the ability to capture intricate detail when needed.

Ultra-Fast, Ultra-Quiet Autofocus:

• Stepping Motor for Silent AF: Nikon’s AF-P lenses are equipped with a stepping motor, delivering ultra-fast and silent autofocus performance. This is particularly beneficial when shooting video, as it eliminates distracting focusing sounds and provides smooth transitions between subjects, ensuring your footage remains clear and professional.

• Internal Focusing (IF): The front lens element does not rotate during focusing, which is particularly helpful when using polarising filters or other attachments.

Advanced Vibration Reduction (VR) and SPORT VR Mode:

• Vibration Reduction (VR): Nikon’s advanced VR system allows you to shoot handheld with confidence, even at slower shutter speeds. The lens offers up to 4.5 stops of compensation, meaning you can capture sharper images in low light or at full zoom without the need for a tripod.

• SPORT VR Mode: Designed for fast-moving subjects, SPORT VR delivers a more stable viewfinder image, making it easier to track erratic movement. This feature, inherited from Nikon’s professional lenses, is perfect for sports, wildlife, or action photography, where sharpness and accuracy are paramount.

Built for Durability and Portability:

• Weather-Resistant Design: The Nikon 70-300mm lens is built to withstand outdoor shooting conditions. Every movable part of the lens barrel is sealed to prevent dust and moisture from entering, ensuring reliable performance in unpredictable weather conditions. This makes it a great lens for outdoor sports, wildlife, and travel photography.

• Lightweight Build: Weighing just 680g, this lens is light and compact, making it a great travel companion. Its lighter weight ensures more comfortable handheld shooting over extended periods, without compromising on build quality or performance.

Edge-to-Edge Sharpness and Superb Bokeh:

• ED Glass Elements: The incorporation of Extra-low Dispersion (ED) glass elements ensures high image quality by reducing chromatic aberrations and delivering sharp, vivid images with superb clarity throughout the zoom range.

• Rounded 9-Blade Diaphragm: The nine-blade rounded diaphragm produces smooth and natural-looking bokeh, perfect for portraits and isolating your subject against a beautifully blurred background.

Precision Control and Handling:

• Electromagnetic Diaphragm Mechanism: The lens’s electromagnetic diaphragm ensures precise exposure control, even during high-speed burst shooting. This feature is especially useful when shooting sports or wildlife in dynamic conditions.

• Manual Focus Override (M/A and A/M Modes): The M/A and A/M focus modes give photographers greater control over focusing. M/A mode allows for instant switching to manual focus simply by turning the focus ring, ideal for fast-paced sports photography. A/M mode prevents accidental switching to manual focus, ensuring greater precision during shooting.

• Knurled Control Rings: Both the zoom and focus rings are knurled, ensuring a comfortable and secure grip for smooth and precise adjustments.
