Focus and operation
Autofocus is supported for the AF-S, AF-P, and AF-I lens types documented by Nikon. Check the FTZ compatibility table for exceptions.
- The sensor changes the angle of view. The lens’s actual focal length and f-number do not change.
Based on the manufacturer's documentation, not a test of this exact pair. Autofocus modes, stabilization, burst rate, and video support can still depend on firmware and settings.
