• LensTypes
When using a CPU lens equipped with an aperture ring (pg. 370), lock the
aperture ring at the minimum aperture (highest f-number). Type G lenses
are not equipped with an aperture ring.
Non-CPU lenses (pg. 372) can only be used in exposure mode
A
(aperture-
priority auto) and !1 (manual). In other modes, exposure mode
A
is
automatically selected when a non-CPU lens is attached. The exposure
mode indicator
(P
or 5) in the control panel will blink and
A
will be
displayed in the viewfinder.
