Operating Instructions

IMPORTANT!
The camera body you have purchased is packaged separately from the lens. Before mounting the lens, check if it
is capable of Automatic Maximum Aperture Indexing (AI) operation with your camera body by verifying that the
lens' aperture ring is fitted with a meter coupling ridge as illustrated at the right. Note that the "Ai" mark on thc
cover of the instruction sheet provided with AI Nikkor lenses is your assurance that the lens offers the AI feature.
If the lens is fitted with the mirror coupling ridge, it is fully capable of full aperture exposure measurement and
automatic maximum aperture indexing; to attach it to the camera, follow the directions provided in the BASIC
OPERATION section of this instruction manual.
If the lens is non-AI, stop-down exposure measurement is required with the camera body's meter coupling lever
locked up: to lock up the lever, follow the directions in the "Meter coupling lever" section of CONTROLS IN
DETAIL.
