Photography Asked by Zerotoinfinity on December 2, 2020
When I checked the site of Nikon for D3300 camera, I found following description
Autofocus is available with AF-S and AF-I lenses; Autofocus is not
available with other type G and D lenses, AF lenses (IX NIKKOR and
lenses for the F3AF are not supported) and AI-P lenses; Non-CPU lenses
can be used in mode M but the camera exposure meter will not function
The electronic rangefinder can be used with lenses that have a maximum
aperture of f/5.6 or faster
I am confused with what it means. Does it mean that auto-focus is not supported for following version (for example)
because it has “G” mentioned in aperture? I am confused because it says that it is auto focus.
I usually choose focal point to focus on subject while taking pictures but I use auto while shooting videos. As now I am planning to shoot more videos so do I have to worry about these properties?
The Nikon 18-200mm F/3.5-5.6G IF-ED AF-S VR II DX lens will autofocus on your D3300.
The important statement is: "Autofocus is available with AF-S and AF-I lenses".
The secondary statement, "Autofocus is not available with other type G and D lenses," means that G- and D-type lenses that are not AF-S or AF-I won't autofocus on your D3300.
The "G" in Nikon lens designations means there is no manual aperture control ring for the user to set the aperture on the lens; the camera body must perform the aperture control.
