Internal Focusing
Want to see words and definitions without going to a separate glossary? Turn on the in-page
glossary to find out.
Internal focusing refers to a NIKKOR lens in which the movement of the optical elements takes place within the lens barrel and does not involve the movement of the barrel. Thus, IF NIKKORS do not change in size during AF operation, allowing for compact, lightweight lenses capable of closer focusing distances.
