Compatible lenses

Autofocus is available with AF-S and AF-I lenses. Autofocus is not

 

available with other type G and D lenses, AF lenses (IX NIKKOR and lenses

 

for the F3AF are not supported), and AI-P lenses. Non-CPU lenses can be

 

used in mode M, but the camera exposure meter will not function.

 

The electronic rangefinder can be used with lenses that have a

 

maximum aperture of f/5.6 or faster.
