Focus Points, Continued
TeleconvertersTeleconverters
The focus points available for autofocus and electronic rangending when an AF-S or AF-P tele-
converter is attached are shown below. Cross sensors are used for the focus points shown in green,
while the remainder use line sensors. Note that at maximum combined apertures slower than f/5.6,
the camera may not be able to focus on dark or low-contrast subjects. Autofocus is not available
when teleconverters are used with AF-S VR Micro-Nikkor 105 mm f/2.8G IF-ED lenses.
