Nikon AF-P DX NIKKOR 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G Overview

Updating the staple DX-format standard zoom, the AF-P DX NIKKOR 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G from Nikon offers a 27-82.5mm equivalent focal length range as well as an especially sleek form factor. Two aspherical elements are featured in the optical design, which help to control spherical aberrations and distortion in order to realize high sharpness and accurate rendering. A Super Integrated Coating is also used to minimize flare and ghosting for greater contrast and color accuracy. Suiting both photo and video applications, the AF-P designation indicates the use of a pulse stepping motor that offers notably quiet, fast, and precise autofocus performance.

Standard zoom spans wide-angle to portrait focal lengths and is designed for Nikon F-mount DX-format cameras, where it provides a 27-82.5mm equivalent range.
Two aspherical elements are used to reduce spherical aberrations and distortion in order to realize sharp imagery with accurate rendering.
A Super Integrated Coating has been applied to individual elements to suppress internal reflections, flare, and ghosting for improved contrast and color accuracy when working in strong lighting conditions.
AF-P pulse motor uses stepping motors to deliver impressively smooth, quiet, and fast autofocus performance that is well-suited to both stills and video applications.
Rounded seven-blade diaphragm promotes a pleasing out of focus quality that benefits the use of shallow depth of field and selective focus techniques.
A retractable lens barrel design maintains an especially compact form factor when the lens is not in use. Additionally, the autofocus switch has been removed from the lens design for a sleek profile; this operation is now accessible in compatible cameras' menu systems.

question

I have the AF S 18-55 lens. It appears that the AF P has a button on it's barrel where the AF S does not. It's function?
Asked by: Brian R.
The button on the zoom ring of the Nikon 18-55mm lenses is a lock/unlock button that allows the lens to be extended for shooting and retracted smaller than normal for storage and packing. Photos cannot be taken with the lens in the locked position, only when the button is pressed and the zoom ring is turned from the L position to the 18mm postiion is it ready to take photos from within its 18-55mm range.
