Getting Ready
ZG-type Nikkor and other CPU Nikkor lens
The G-type Nikkor lens has no aperture ring; aperture should be selected from camera body. Unlike other CPU Nikkor lenses,
aperture does not need to be set to minimum (largest f-number).
CPU Nikkor lenses other than G-type Nikkor lens have an aperture ring. Set the lens aperture to its minimum and lock. When
the lens is not set to its minimum aperture setting and the power switch is turned on, “ ” blinks in the control panel and
viewfinder and the shutter cannot be released.
ZWhen a non-CPU lens is attached
If lens data are specified using the [NON-CPU LENS DATA] under [ MISC.] in the [SET UP] menu, many of the features
available with CPU lenses can also be used with non-CPU lenses. If lens data are not specified, color matrix metering cannot
be used, and center-weighted metering is used when matrix metering is selected.
Non-CPU lenses can only be used in exposure modes and , when aperture must be set using the lens aperture ring. If
the maximum aperture has not been specified using [NON-CPU LENS DATA], the camera aperture display will show the
number of stops from maximum aperture; the actual aperture value must be read off the lens aperture ring. Aperture-priority
auto will be selected automatically in exposure modes and . The exposure-mode indicator in the control panel will blink,
and A will be displayed in the viewfinder.
