and camera body are aligned, then twist lens anticlockwise until it locks into
place. (Be sure not to touch the lens release button.)

Check points
• Use a G- or D-type AF Nikkor lens to utilise all of this camera’s functions. However,
autofocus cannot be used with AF-S and AF-I lenses, and the Vibration Reduction
function of the VR lens does not function (p. 88).
• Make sure to turn the power switch off when attaching/detaching the lens.
• Avoid direct sunlight when attaching/detaching the lens.
