• LensTypes
When using a
CPU
lens equipped
with
an
aperture ring (pg. 370), lock the
aperture ring at the
minimum
aperture (highest f-number). Type G lenses
are
not
equipped
with
an
aperture ring.
Non-CPU lenses (pg. 372)
can
only be used in exposure mode A(aperture-
priority auto) and
!1
(manual). In other modes, exposure mode A
is
automatically selected when a non-CPU lens
is
attached. The exposure
mode indicator
(P
or
5)
in the control panel will blink and A will be
displayed in
the
viewfinder.
