Using Nikkor lenses with built-in CPUs other than G-type lenses
1
Set the aperture ring to the smallest aperture.
2
Lock the aperture ring. If you switch the camera
on without first selecting the smallest aperture
(the aperture setting with the highest number),
“¡” flashes on the top display panel and in the
viewfinder, and the shutter will not operate.

Removing the lens
◆
Push and hold the lens release button, then turn
the lens clockwise.
While the lens is removed from the camera, fit the
camera body cap provided onto the camera to
protect the inside of the camera and prevent
soiling of the mirror and viewfinder screen.
(You can also use the Nikon BF-1A Body Cap.)
