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.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Shutter

 

 

 

 

Type

Electronically-controlled vertical-travel focal-plane shutter

 

 

Speed

1/4000 – 30 s in steps of 1/3 EV; Bulb; Time (requires optional ML-L3 remote

 

 

 

control)

 

 

Flash sync speed

X=1/200 s; synchronizes with shutter at 1/200 s or slower

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Release

 

 

 

 

Release mode

8(single frame), I(continuous), E(self-timer), "(delayed remote),

 

 

 

#(quick-response remote), J(quiet shutter release)

 

 

Frame advance rate

Up to 4 fps (manual focus, mode M or S, shutter speed 1/250 s or faster, and

 

 

 

other settings at default values)

 

 

Self-timer

2 s, 5 s, 10 s, 20 s; 1–9 exposures

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Exposure

 

 

 

 

Metering

TTL exposure metering using 420-pixel RGB sensor

 

 

Metering method

• Matrix metering: 3D color matrix metering II (type G and D lenses); color

 

 

 

 

matrix metering II (other CPU lenses)

 

 

 

Center-weighted metering: Weight of 75% given to 8-mm circle in center

 

 

 

 

of frame

 

 

 

• Spot metering: Meters 3.5-mm circle (about 2.5% of frame) centered on

 

 

 

 

selected focus point

 

 

Range (ISO 100, f/1.4

Matrix or center-weighted metering: 0–20 EV

 

 

lens, 20 °C/68 °F)

Spot metering: 2–20 EV

Exposure compensation

–5 – +5 EV in increments of 1/3 EV
