Lens Compatibility

Use a CPU lens (except IX-Nikkor) with this camera. D- or G-type AF
lenses give you access to all available functions.
G-type Nikkor and other CPU Nikkor lens
• The G-type Nikkor lens has no aperture ring; aperture should be selected
from camera body. Unlike other CPU Nikkor lenses, aperture does not need
to be set to minimum (largest f-number).
• CPU Nikkor lenses other than G-type Nikkor lens have an aperture ring. Set
the lens aperture to its minimum and lock. When the lens is not set to its
minimum aperture setting and the power switch is turned on,
the LCD panel and viewfinder and the shutter cannot be released.
When a non-CPU lens is attached
Set exposure mode to (Aperture-Priority Auto) or
system to Center-Weighted or Spot with a non-CPU lens. When other modes
are selected, exposure indication ( or ) in the LCD panel blinks, exposure
mode is automatically set to Aperture-Priority Auto and metering system is
set to Center-Weighted . (A appears in the viewfinder.) With a non-CPU
lens, the aperture cannot be set using the Sub-Command Dial.
