using a type G lens (type G lenses are not equipped

ring, lock aperture at this setting (B).

If the lens is not set to the minimum aperture when

the camera is turned on, a blinking indicator will be displayed in the viewfinder and in the control panel on top of the camera. Photographs can not be taken while this indicator is displayed.

When No Lens Is in Place

When no lens is in place, cover the lens mount with the BF-1A body cap supplied with the camera. If the lens mount is not covered, dust may find its way onto the mirror or viewfinder screen.

Detaching the Lens

After confirming that the camera is off, turn the lens clockwise

 

 

 

while holding down the lens-release button.
