Attach a Lens

Care should be taken to prevent dust from entering the camera when the lens is
removed. An AF-S DX NIKKOR 18–55mm f/3.5–5.6G VR lens is used in this manual for
illustrative purposes.

1

Turn the camera off.

2

Remove the rear lens cap and the
camera body cap.

3

Attach the lens.

Keeping the mounting index on the
lens aligned with the mounting index
on the camera body, position the lens
in the camera’s bayonet mount (q).
Being careful not to press the lens-
release button, rotate the lens
counter-clockwise until it clicks into
place (w).

If the lens is equipped with an A-M or
M/A-M

switch, select A (autofocus) or

M/A

(autofocus with manual priority).

Autofocus

Autofocus is supported with only AF-S and AF-I lenses, which are equipped with autofocus
