LENSES
The Nikon F50/F50D is designed for autofocus photography with AF
Nikkor lenses (except AF-Nikkor lenses made specifically for the
Nikon F3AF camera). To take full advantage of the F50/F50D
camera’s features, you should use AF Nikkor lenses.
Flowever, the lenses listed on right can be used under the following
conditions:
When an AF-S, AF-I or AI-P Nikkor lens is used:
• Set the focus switch to M and focus by rotating the lens focusing
ring*.
When mountable non-CPU Nikkor lenses are used:
• Use an external exposure meter.
• Set exposure mode to Manual. (In other exposure modes, shutter is
locked.)
• Shutter speed indication appears on the LCD panel and inside the
viewfinder. Set shutter speed by pressing the set/adjust button.
The f-number of the aperture set will not be visible in the LCD panel
and inside the viewfinder. Set the aperture by rotating the lens
aperture ring.
• Adjust focus by rotating the lens focusing ring until the subject
appears sharp inside the viewfinder.*
• Unless your subject is not acceptable for autofocus operation (page 44), you
can confirm the in-focus indicator. Centre the focus brackets on the subject,
and rotate the focusing ring while lightly pressing the shutter release button.
When the subject is in focus, the in-focus indicator • appears.
