Non-AI Lenses
The camera can be used with non-AI lenses (i.e., lenses not
equipped with AI mechanisms). Before attaching the lens, be sure
to raise the metering coupling lever; failure to observe this
precaution could result in damage to the camera or lens.
❚❚ AI Versus Non-AI Lenses
“Non-CPU” lenses are divided into lenses with AI mechanisms (“AI
lenses”) and those without (“non-AI lenses”).
