Attaching Lenses

Nikon recommends using a type G or type D CPU lens to take full ad van tage
of the features the camera offers.

1

Turn the camera off

Turn the camera off before attaching or re-
mov ing lenses.

2

Attach a lens

Keep ing the mounting mark on the lens
aligned with the mounting mark on the cam-
era body, position the lens in the cam

era’s

bayonet mount. Being careful not to press
the lens-release button, ro tate the lens coun-
ter-clockwise until it clicks into place.

3

Lock aperture at the minimum setting

This step is not necessary if you are using a
type G lens not equipped with an aperture
ring. If you are using a lens of another type,
lock aperture at the minimum setting (highest
f/-num ber).

If this step is omitted when attaching a CPU
lens, the ap er ture dis plays in the con trol panel
and viewfi nder will show a blinking

when

the camera is turned on. Pho to graphs can not
be taken until the cam era is turned off and
ap er ture locked at the highest f/-num ber.
