AFormatting Memory Cards

If this is the first time the memory card will be used in the camera or if the card has been formatted in another device, select Format memory card in the setup menu and follow the on-screen instructions to format the card (0 11). Note that this permanently deletes any data the card may contain. Be sure to copy any photographs and other data you wish to keep to a computer before proceeding.

4Attach a lens.

Be careful to prevent dust from entering the camera when the lens or body cap is removed.

Keeping marks aligned, position lens on camera, then rotate until lens clicks into place.

Autofocus is available with AF-S lenses. The lens kit option includes an AF-S lens; for information on other lenses that can be used with the D5100, see page 65.

If the lens has a vibration reduction (VR) switch, select ON to reduce the effects of vibration.

DCPU Lenses with Aperture Rings

In the case of CPU lenses equipped with an aperture ring (0 65), lock aperture at the minimum setting (highest f-number).
