Nikon 1799 instruction manual Using a non-CPU Nikkor lens, Limitations of non-CPU Nikkor lenses

Lens Compatibility—continued

•Using a non-CPU Nikkor lens

Limitations of non-CPU Nikkor lenses

•Set exposure mode to £ (Aperture-Priority Auto) or ¢ (Manual). When other modes are selected, the exposure indication (¡ or ™) in the LCD panel blinks, and exposure mode is automatically set to Aperture-Priority Auto. (£ appears in the viewfinder.)

•With AI Nikkor lens, Color Matrix Metering can be used when the focal length and maximum aperture are set by “specifying lens data” (x 144). If Matrix Metering q is selected without specifying the lens data, however, the metering system automatically switches to Center-Weighted w.

•With AI Nikkor lens, aperture can be displayed when the maximum aperture is set by “specifying lens data”. If the lens data are not specified, however, the aperture indication will show the number of EV steps from the maximum aperture (e.g. ∂2: two steps from the maximum aperture).

•With a non-CPU lens, the aperture cannot be set using the Sub-Command Dial. Set/confirm aperture using the lens aperture ring.

Accessories that can be attached under certain conditions

•Bellows Focusing Attachment PB-6: use Auto Extension Ring (PB-6D is required to make horizontal/vertical change)
