Nikon's Silent Wave Motor (SWM) autofocus mechanism provides near-silent auto focusing that is both fast and accurate. Combined with Vibration Reduction (VR) image stabilization, the SWM AF system equips the AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-140mm for handheld video recording as well as fast-action photography. Additionally, manual autofocus override allows instant switching to manual focus without taking your eye off the subject. The minimum focus distance is 1.48 ' and its 7-blade rounded aperture helps to provide pleasing out-of-focus backgrounds. Compatible with DX-sized image sensors and FX format sensors in crop mode. The 7.8 x magnification ratio provides a versatile 18-140mm zoom range which is equivalent to 27-210mm in the 35mm format and covers wide-angle to telephoto perspectives.
Vibration Reduction can provide up to four stops of image stabilization for sharper handheld photos and video. One aspherical and one ED lens element reduce chromatic aberration and help improve image sharpness, color and clarity. The Nikon Super Integrated Coated lens system enhances light transmission and reduces lens flare.
