Basic Operation
Attaching/detaching the lens
• Make sure to turn the power switch off before attaching/detaching the lens.
• Avoid direct sunlight when attaching/detaching the lens.
When camera is left unattended without a lens
If you leave the camera unattended without a lens attached, be sure to attach the
supplied body cap (
x
4), or optional body cap BF-1A. (BF-1 body cap cannot be
used.)
For details on lens compatibility, see page 38.
Non-CPU Nikkor lens
With a non-CPU Nikkor lens attached, the aperture indication shows the number of
EV steps from the maximum aperture (e.g.
∂2
: two steps from the maximum
aperture). However, by specifying the focal length and maximum aperture using
”specifying lens data“ (
x
144), functions available with a CPU lens, such as
aperture indication or Color Matrix Metering, can be used. Non-AI lenses cannot be
attached without modification; see page 41 before attaching a non-AI lens.
