Technical Notes
Read this chapter for information on compatible accessories, cleaning and storing
the camera, and what to do if an error message is displayed or you encounter
problems using the camera.
Compatible Lenses
CPU lenses (particularly types G and D) are recommended, but note that IX-NIKKOR
lenses can not be used. CPU lenses can be identified by the presence of CPU
contacts, type G and D lenses by a letter on the lens barrel. Type G lenses are not
equipped with a lens aperture ring. The maximum aperture of the lens is given by
the f-number in the lens name.
