2 —Attaching a Lens
To take full advantage of the complete range of camera features, we recommend
that you use a type G or D AF Nikkor CPU lens.
When attaching or removing the body cap or lenses, care should be obser ved to prevent dirt
or other foreign substances from entering the camera body. The presence of foreign bodies
inside the camer a could affect your photographs. When changing lenses or replacing the body
cap, hold the camera with the base down or tilted so that the lens mount faces the ground. Be
sure to replace the body cap when no lens is in place.

2 .1 Attach a lens to the camera body
Turn the camera off before attaching or removing
lenses (A). Keeping the mounting mar k on the
lens aligned with the mounting mark on the cam-
era body, position the lens in the camera’s bayonet
mount and then, being careful not to press the
lens-release button, rotate the lens counter-clock-
wise until it locks into place (B).
If no lens is attached, or if the lens mounted on the
camera is not a CPU lens,
will appear in the
aperture display in the viewfinder and the control
panel on top of the camera when the camer a is
turned on. If the exposure mode is set to programmed auto or shutter-
priority auto, the exposure-mode indicator will blink to warn that the camera
will in fact function as though set to aperture-priority auto.
CPU lenses have CPU
contacts.
