TUTORIAL—FIRST STEPS

—Attaching a Lens

To take full advantage of the complete range of camera features, we recommend

that you use a type G or D AF Nikkor CPU lens.

When attaching or removing the body cap or lenses, care should be observed to prevent dirt

or other foreign substances from entering the camera body. The presence of foreign bodies

inside the camera could affect your photographs. When changing lenses or replacing the body

cap, hold the camera with the base down or tilted so that the lens mount faces the ground. Be

sure to replace the body cap when no lens is in place.

STEP 2

.1 Attach a lens to the camera body

Tu rn the camera off before attaching or removing

lenses (A). Keeping the mounting mark on the

lens aligned with the mounting mark on the cam-

era body, position the lens in the camera’s bayonet

mount and then, being careful not to press the

lens-release button, rotate the lens counter-clock-

wise until it locks into place (B).

If no lens is attached, or if the lens mounted on the

camera is not a CPU lens, will appear in the

aperture display in the viewfinder and the control

panel on top of the camera when the camera is

turned on. If the exposure mode is set to programmed auto or shutter-

priority auto, the exposure-mode indicator will blink to warn that the camera

will in fact function as though set to aperture-priority auto.

CPU lenses have CPU

contacts.
