Nikon F 100 instruction manual Lens Compatibility, Type Nikkor and other CPU Nikkor lens, Non

Lens Compatibility

•Use a CPU lens (except IX-Nikkor) with this camera. D- or G-type AF lenses give you access to all available functions.

G-type Nikkor and other CPU Nikkor lens

•The G-type Nikkor lens has no aperture ring; aperture should be selected from camera body. Unlike other CPU Nikkor lenses, aperture does not need to be set to minimum (largest f-number).

•CPU Nikkor lenses other than G-type Nikkor lens have an aperture ring. Set the lens aperture to its minimum and lock. When the lens is not set to its minimum aperture setting and the power switch is turned on, ƒEE blinks in the LCD panel and viewfinder and the shutter cannot be released.

When a non-CPU lens is attached

Set exposure mode to £ (Aperture-Priority Auto) or ¢ (Manual) and metering system to Center-Weighted or Spot with a non-CPU lens. When other modes are selected, exposure indication (¡ or ™) in the LCD panel blinks, exposure mode is automatically set to Aperture-Priority Auto and metering system is set to Center-Weighted w. (A appears in the viewfinder.) With a non-CPU lens, the aperture cannot be set using the Sub-Command Dial. ƒ--appears in place of the aperture indication in the LCD panel and viewfinder; set/confirm aperture using the lens aperture ring.

*1	Spot Metering area can be shifted with focus area selector (page 45) with CPU Nikkor lens.
*2	IX-Nikkor lenses cannot be attached.
*3	This camera is compatible with the Vibration Reduction function of the VR Nikkor lens.
*4	The camera’s exposure metering and flash control system do not work properly when shifting and/or tilting the
	lens, or when using an aperture other than the maximum aperture.
*5	Without shifting and/or tilting the lens.
*6	With exposure mode set to Manual.
*7	Compatible with AF-S and AF-I Nikkor except AF-S 17-35mm f/2.8D IF-ED, AF-S 24-85mm f/3.5-4.5G IF-ED
	and AF-S 28-70mm f/2.8D IF-ED.

	Exposure must also be determined before shifting; use AE-L/AF-L button before shifting. In Manual exposure mode,
	exposure is determined by presetting lens aperture. Exposure must also be determined before shifting.
*13	Exposure compensation is necessary with Ai 28-85mm f/3.5, Ai 35-105mm f/3.5-4.5, Ai 35-135mm f/3.5-4.5
