Attaching a lens
Notes
• The shutter is not released if the lens is not attached, except when the mode dial is
set to M (page 53).
• Using a DT lens is not guaranteed because the corners of the field are darkened and
the camera does not meet the primary AE performance standard.
To remove the lens
1
Remove the body cap from the camera and the rear cap from
the lens.
2
Mount the lens by aligning the
orange index marks on the lens
and camera.
