Mounting the Camera Lens
• Align the mounting marks on the lens and the camera body and then turn
the lens slowly in the direction of the arrow until it clicks into place. (Do
not press the lens detaching button.)
• If you switch the camera on when there is no lens mounted or when the
lens mounted is not a Nikkor lens with a built-in CPU (

°
”
warning appears blinking on the top display panel and in the viewfinder
display and the shutter will not release (If the exposure mode is set to
Manual, the shutter will release when the “

not release when you press the shutter button.
Notes on Changing the Lens
• Take care not to mount the lens when it is at an angle to the camera as this
can damage the lens mount on the camera.
• Always change the lens in an area free of dirt and dust.
