Cross Sensors

The availability of cross-sensor focus points varies with the lens used. Cross sensors are used for the focus points shown in green, while the remainder use line sensors.

Lens	Cross sensors
AF-S and AF-P lenses with maximum apertures (at maximum zoom, if applicable) of f/4 or faster, excluding the lenses listed below.	105 cross sensors

Teleconverters

The focus points available for autofocus and electronic rangefinding when an AF-S or AF-P teleconverter 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.

* At maximum zoom, in the case of zoom lenses.
