G-series lenses are designed to meet the high expectations of the most demanding professional. The quality of the image they produce is among the finest in the industry. Distance Encoding - Distance encoding with new and revised "D" lenses provides refined multi-segment metering for manual focus operation and depth-of-field display on Navigation Display with the Maxxum 7 as well as ADI flash functions when the new 5600(D) and 3600(D) flashes.
