Quick-return type

Yes, Pressing Pv button stops lens aperture down to value selected by user (A, M and M(*) modes) or by camera (P and S modes)

Instant return, electronically controlled

Compatible with AF NIKKOR lenses, including type G, E, and D lenses (some restrictions apply to PC lenses), DX lenses (using DX (24 x 16) 1.5x image area), AI-P NIKKOR lenses, and non-CPU AI lenses (exposure modes A, M and M(*) only); IX-NIKKOR lenses, lenses for the F3AF, and non-AI lenses cannot be used: The electronic rangefinder can be used with lenses that have a maximum aperture of f/5.6 or faster (the electronic rangefinder supports the 11 focus points with lenses that have a maximum aperture of f/8 or faster)
