The AF-S NIKKOR 600mm f/4G ED VR II lens with its unprecedented image quality, responsiveness and versatility, is certain to set a new benchmark for super-telephoto lenses. The new super-telephoto lens is equipped with a Vibration Reduction (VR) function. Nikon’s VR II system minimizes image blur caused by camera shake, offering a shutter speed up to the equivalent of four stops faster*. The newly added Tripod mode reduces vibration that may occur when shooting with a super-telephoto lens when attached to a tripod at shutter release time. Nikon’s VR function also gives photographers the option of a natural viewfinder image even during VR operation.
