Stunning image quality
Whether it's a jump start or an eagle at rest, the exceptional resolution of this super telephoto lens allows you to capture every shot in stunning detail. Bokeh, colour, clarity and contrast are all superb, so you can shoot without worrying about glare or backlighting. AF is fast, accurate and exceptionally quiet. This S-series lens is perfect for your creative needs.
Maximum aperture of f/4.5
Fast-moving subjects, beautiful bokeh... The maximum aperture of f/4.5 allows you to reveal your creativity with shutter speeds and depth of field. Freeze fast-moving action and isolate subjects from busy backgrounds - images stay sharp even at maximum aperture.
Impressive stability
With Nikon's powerful Optical VR system built into the lens, you gain 5.5 shutter speeds for unmatched handheld shooting stability¹. When used with the Z 9, VR Synchro combines the in-camera and in-lens VR systems to deliver up to 6.0 shutter speeds².
High-performance optical design
The optical construction incorporates Nikon's Nano Crystal Coating, which corrects ghosting and flare caused by diagonal light entering the lens. Super ED, ED and SR glass lenses limit chromatic aberration from the centre to the edges of the image.
Easy control
Whether you're shooting stills or movies, the perfectly balanced NIKKOR Z 400mm f/4.5 VR S provides a smooth, comfortable shooting experience. Its front grip promotes stable shooting. The intuitive control layout and tactile details on the controls, rings and switches allow you to make adjustments quickly without taking your eyes off the viewfinder.
Stable video
Quiet focus, focus-breathing suppression and smooth aperture control make this lens ideal for shooting movies with beautifully compressed backgrounds.
Fully customisable
You can assign different functions to the L-Fn controls and the lens' silent adjustment ring, and use the MEMORY-SET control to record focus distances.
Lightweight, yet robust
A reinforced seal and rubber gasket protect all moving parts from dust, dirt and moisture. Nikon's fluoride coating makes it easy to clean the front lens.
