Internal multi-focus: G5 (L12+L13) and G6 (L14) move independently toward the object side when focusing from infinity to close range (Nikon Multi-Focus System). Close-focus group placements were derived by ray-tracing the minimum-norm (Δ5, Δ6) pair that images a 0.35 m object on the image plane at each zoom position.
