18 Tutorial
The Tutorial outlines the basics of taking and viewing photographs in (auto) and Digital
Vari-Program modes. This section assumes that default camera settings are used; for infor-
mation on restoring default settings, see page 134.
Use a CPU Lens
(auto) and Digital Vari-Program modes are only available with CPU lenses. If these modes are se-
lected when a non-CPU lens is attached, the shutter release will be disabled.
