When No Lens Is in Place
When no lens is in place, cover the lens mount with the BF-1A
body cap supplied with the camera. If the lens mount is not
covered, dust may find its way onto the mirror or viewfinder
screen.
22—Aperture Setting ( pg. 173)
By default, aper ture is set automatically by the camera or (when the exposure mode is set to
manual or aper ture-priority auto) using the sub-command dial. Custom Setting 22 allows
aperture to be set manually using the lens aper ture ring.
2 .2 Set the lens aperture to the minimum setting
You will not need to perform this step if you are
using a type G lens (type G lenses are not equipped
with an aper ture ring). If you are using another
type of lens, set the lens aper ture to the highest f-
number (minimum aper ture). If you do not intend
to set aper ture manually with the lens aper ture
r ing, lock aper ture at this setting (B).
If the lens is not set to the minimum aperture when
the camera is turned on, a blinking
indicator
will be displayed in the viewfinder and in the con-
trol panel on top of the camera. Photographs can
not be taken while this indicator is displayed.
