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.

  • This lens projects an APS-C image circle. A cropped image area reduces the recorded pixel count compared with the full sensor.
  • Nikon FX Z cameras use the DX image area with DX lenses.

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.
