Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the AF-S Nikkor ED 500mm f/4DII IF. This is a high-grade,
internal focusing (IF) lens employing a Silent Wave Motor to drive the focusing
mechanism, thus the “S” designation. As a result, autofocusing is smooth, silent, and
almost instantaneous.
Major features
•Autofocusing possible with Nikon F5, F4-Series, F100, F90X/N90s*, F90-Series/
N90*, F80-Series/N80-Series*, F70-Series/N70*, F65-Series/N65-Series*,
Pronea 600i/6i*, Pronea S cameras and Nikon Digital Camera D1/D1

. Also
provided: autofocusing with manual override, autofocus range limiting via a
focusing limit switch, and a focus lock button capable of locking focus on the lens.
•Many magnesium alloy parts are used inside to reduce weight.
•Manual focusing using focus assist possible with all Nikon AF camera bodies,
except the F3AF.
•For more accurate exposure control, subject distance information is transmitted
from the lens to the camera body, providing 3D Matrix Metering and 3D Multi-
Sensor Balanced Fill-Flash with appropriate Nikon cameras and Speedlights.
•Featuring a maximum aperture of f/4, this lens is very effective for shooting fast-
moving sports events or images in the dark.
