Introduction—First Steps

Attaching Lenses

Nikon recommends using a type G or type D CPU lens to take full advantage of the features the camera offers.

1 Turn the camera off

Turn the camera off before attaching or re- moving lenses.

2 Attach a lens

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. Being careful not to press the lens-release button, rotate the lens coun- ter-clockwise until it clicks into place.

3 Lock aperture at the minimum setting This step is not necessary if you are using a type G lens not equipped with an aperture ring. If you are using a lens of another type, lock aperture at the minimum setting (highest f/-number).

If this step is omitted when attaching a CPU lens, the aperture displays in the control panel

and viewfinder will show a blinking when the camera is turned on. Photographs can not be taken until the camera is turned off and aperture locked at the highest f/-number.
