What does AF-S stand for Nikon?
Auto Focus – Silent Wave
Auto Focus – Silent Wave (AF-S) is a type of focusing motor used in a number of AF-Nikkor lenses; the AF-S motor is very fast and quiet. AF-S lenses also have an “A/M” mode selector which allows the user to switch from automatic to manual focus with almost no lag time.
What does AF-S mean?
AF-S means single shot and is used for subject that is stationary. AF-A is where the camera decides whether the subject is moving or not and tries to alternate between the servo and single shot mode accordingly.
Is AF-C better than AF-S?
With AF-S, you cannot take a shot without focus being locked (green light being on). With AF-C you will take a shot anytime the shutter release is pressed. So with AF-C, while it will attempt to track focus on a moving subject, you can take shots at any time whether or not the AF has focus lock.

Do all Nikon lenses fit on any Nikon DSLR?
Mostly yes, but there are caveats. In general, F mount Nikon lenses will fit most Nikon SLR cameras made since the 1950s, although there are exceptions, and things can be more complicated if you’re talking about autofocus. The Nikon mirrorless cameras introduced recently take their own mount type lenses, and those are interchangeable.
