Attaching the Lens
Attach a proper lens to the camera's body.
When you use one of the following lenses with the e/y, all 
the camera’s exposure modes will be available.
(a) DA, DA L, D FA, FA J lenses
(b) Lenses with an Aperture s (Auto) position, when used in the 
s
position
1
Check that the camera is turned off.
2
Remove the body mount cover 
(1) and lens mount cover (2).
Be sure to put the lens down with the 
lens mount side facing upward to 
protect the lens mount from damage 
after removal.
3
Align the Lens mount index 
(red dot) on the camera and the 
lens, and secure by turning the 
lens clockwise until it clicks.
After attaching, turn the lens 
counterclockwise to check that the lens 
is locked in place.
Turn the camera off before attaching or removing the lens to prevent 
unexpected lens movement.
• When lenses described in (b) are used in a position other than s, some
functions will be restricted. See “Notes on [19. Using Aperture Ring]” (p.241).
• With factory default settings, the camera will not work with other lenses and
accessories. Set [19. Using aperture ring] in the [A Custom Setting 3] menu 
to [Permitted] to use them. (p.241)
