AF-S
From Nikonians Wiki - FAQs, Photo Glossary, Good Photo Locations, Help
AF-S is the designation in Nikon nomenclature for a silent wave autofocus lens, which incorporates its own autofocus motors and where the user can turn the focusing ring while in autofocus for refinement, without having to switch to manual focus first.
The Nikon D40 and Nikon D40X can only autofocus when an AF-S type lens is fitted.
