Nikon D800 E, 25480B Non-CPU Lenses, 212, Focal Length Not Listed, Teleconverters and Zoom Lenses

Non-CPU Lenses

By specifying lens data (lens focal length and maximum aperture), the user can gain access to a variety of CPU lens functions when using a non-CPU lens.

If the focal length of the lens is known:

•Power zoom can be used with optional flash units (0 382)

•Lens focal length is listed (with an asterisk) in the playback photo info display

If the maximum aperture of the lens is known:

•The aperture value is displayed in the control panel and viewfinder

•Flash level is adjusted for changes in aperture

•Aperture is listed (with an asterisk) in the playback photo info display

Specifying both the focal length and maximum aperture of the lens:

•Enables color matrix metering (note that it may be necessary to use center-weighted or spot metering to achieve accurate results with some lenses, including Reflex-NIKKOR lenses)

•Improves the precision of center-weighted and spot metering and i-TTL balanced fill-flash for digital SLR

AFocal Length Not Listed

If the correct focal length is not listed, choose the closest value greater than the actual focal length of the lens.

ATeleconverters and Zoom Lenses

The maximum aperture for teleconverters is the combined maximum aperture of the teleconverter and the lens. Note that lens data are not adjusted when non-CPU lenses are zoomed in or out. The data for different focal lengths can be entered as separate lens numbers, or the data for the lens can be edited to reflect the new values for lens focal length and maximum aperture each time zoom is adjusted.
