Mounting the Lens

If your D5200 has no lens attached, you'll need to mount one before

shooting:

1. Select the lens and loosen (but do not remove) the rear lens cap.

2. Remove the body cap on the camera by rotating the cap away from the

shutter release button.

3. Once the body cap has been removed, remove the rear lens cap from the

lens, set it aside, and then mount the lens on the camera by matching the

alignment indicator on the lens barrel with the white bump on the cam-

era's lens mount (see Figure 1.3). Rotate the lens toward the shutter release

until it seats securely.

Figure 1.3 Match the indicator on the lens with the white dot on the camera mount

to properly align the lens with the bayonet mount.

4. Set the focus mode switch on the lens to AF or M/A (Autofocus with

manual adjustment possible). If the lens hood is bayoneted on the lens in

the reversed position, twist it off and remount with the "petals" (if pres-

ent) facing outward. A lens hood protects the front of the lens from acci-

dental bumps, and reduces flare caused by extraneous light arriving at the

front of the lens from outside the picture area.

Adjusting Diopter Correction

If you are a glasses wearer and want to use the D5200 without your glasses, or

to add further correction, you can take advantage of the camera's built-in diop-

ter adjustment, which can be varied from –1.7 to +0.7 correction. Press the
