Attach a Lens

Care should be taken to prevent dust from entering the camera when the lens is
removed. An AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR lens is used in this manual
for illustrative purposes.

Remove the rear lens cap and the camera body cap.

After confirming that the camera is off, remove the rear lens cap from the lens
and remove the camera body cap.

Attach the lens.

Keeping the mounting mark on the lens
aligned with the mounting mark on the
camera body, position the lens in the
camera’s bayonet mount. Being careful
not to press the lens-release button,
rotate the lens counter-clockwise until it
clicks into place.

If the lens is equipped with an A-M or M/A-M switch,
select A (autofocus) or M/A (autofocus with manual
priority).
