2—Attaching a Lens

To take full advantage of the complete range of camera features, we recommend that you use a type G or D AF Nikkor CPU lens.

CPU lenses have CPU

Type D lens

contacts.

 

 

2.1 Attach a lens to the camera body

 

Turn the camera off before attaching or removing

A

lenses (A). Keeping the mounting mark on the

 

lens aligned with the mounting mark on the cam-

 

era body, position the lens in the camera’s bayonet

 

mount and then, being careful not to press the

 

lens-release button, rotate the lens counter-clock-

 

wise until it locks into place (B).

B

If no lens is attached, or if the lens mounted on the

 

camera is not a CPU lens,

will appear in the

 

aperture display in the viewfinder and the control panel on top of the camera when the camera is

turned on. If the exposure mode is set to programmed auto or shutter- priority auto, the exposure-mode indicator will blink to warn that the camera will in fact function as though set to aperture-priority auto.

When attaching or removing the body cap or lenses, care should be observed to prevent dirt or other foreign substances from entering the camera body. The presence of foreign bodies inside the camera could affect your photographs. When changing lenses or replacing the body cap, hold the camera with the base down or tilted so that the lens mount faces the ground. Be sure to replace the body cap when no lens is in place.
