Keeping the mounting index on the lens aligned with the mounting index on the camera body, position the lens in the camera’s bayonet mount (q). Being careful not to press the lens- release button, rotate the lens counterclockwise until it clicks into place (w).

Slide the A-Mswitch to A (autofocus; if the lens has an M/A-Mswitch, select M/A for autofocus with manual priority).

Autofocus is supported with only AF-S and AF-I lenses, which are equipped with autofocus motors. Autofocus is not available with other AF lenses.
