The Nikon AF-P DX NIKKOR 70-300mm f/4.5-6.3G ED is a compact, versatile telephoto zoom designed for Nikon F-mount DX-format cameras, giving an effective 105-450mm equivalent telephoto reach that makes it an excellent choice for wildlife, sports and travel. The AF-P pulse stepping motor ensures fast, near-silent and very smooth autofocus, making it equally capable for stills and video.
Optical quality rests on one extra-low dispersion (ED) element that reduces chromatic aberration and colour fringing across the full zoom range, while Nikon’s Super Integrated Coating controls reflections, flare and ghosting so images retain rich contrast and accurate colour even in difficult lighting. The 7-blade rounded diaphragm adds natural, attractive bokeh that complements the long telephoto look.
Key Features
- Effective 105-450mm equivalent telephoto reach: The 70-300mm focal range on a DX sensor gives exceptional telephoto flexibility for wildlife, sports, portraits and travel, without the weight and bulk of full-frame super-telephoto lenses.
- AF-P pulse stepping motor: Provides fast, quiet and accurate autofocus, ideal for video recording and continuous tracking of moving subjects with minimal hunting or noise.
- Extra-low dispersion (ED) element: Noticeably reduces chromatic aberration and colour fringing across the full zoom range, producing sharp, high-contrast images with excellent colour accuracy.
- Super Integrated Coating: Applied to individual lens elements to reduce internal reflections, flare and ghosting, keeping contrast and colour accuracy consistent in bright or backlit conditions.
- 7-blade rounded diaphragm: Creates soft, natural bokeh with circular out-of-focus highlights, enhancing shallow depth of field and selective focus techniques.
- Clean design controlled from the camera: The AF switch is omitted from the lens barrel for a sleeker, lighter design, with autofocus control easily accessible through the menus of compatible Nikon cameras.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which Nikon cameras are fully compatible with the AF-P DX NIKKOR 70-300mm f/4.5-6.3G ED?
The lens is fully compatible with the Nikon D500, D7500, D5600, D5500, D3500, D3400 and D850 (in DX mode), as well as Nikon Z-series mirrorless cameras using the FTZ adapter. Limited functionality is available on older bodies such as the D7200, D7100, D5300, D5200, D3300 and some full-frame models in DX mode. A firmware update may be required on some compatible cameras.
Is this lens suitable for video recording?
Yes. The AF-P designation means the lens uses a pulse stepping motor that operates near-silently and provides smooth, continuous autofocus transitions, making it well suited to video applications where motor noise and focus hunting are a problem.
Does the Nikon AF-P DX NIKKOR 70-300mm f/4.5-6.3G ED have image stabilization?
This version of the lens does not include optical image stabilization. Nikon offers a separate version with VR (Vibration Reduction) for users who need in-lens stabilization, which is particularly useful when shooting at the longer focal lengths of the zoom range.
