Getting Ready
ATTACHING THE STRAP

1. Pass one end of the strap through the strap mount on the camera body.
2. Pass the end of the strap through the fastener A and B as shown in the figure.
3. Adjust the strap length. Use the same procedure to attach the other end of the strap to the other strap mount.

MOUNTING THE CAMERA LENS

1. Check the lens type.
2. Set the power switch to OFF to switch the camera off.
3. Position lens in the camera’s bayonet mount so that the mounting indexes on lens and camera body are aligned, then twist lens counterclockwise until it locks into place.
   
   • Always change the lens in an area free of dirt and dust.
   • When attaching the lens, take care not to press the lens release button.
   • When the lens is not attached or when a non-CPU Nikkor lens is attached and the power switch is turned on, “F- -” blinks in the top display panel and viewfinder, and the shutter cannot be released. See page 19 for a non-CPU lens.
   • Take care not to mount the lens when it is at an angle to the camera as this can damage the lens mount on the camera.

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), “ f E E” flashes on the top display panel and in the viewfinder, and the shutter will not operate

Removing the lens

1. Push and hold the lens release button, then turn the lens clockwise.
2. 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.)
