❚❚ Taking Pictures with Non-AI Lenses The lack of an AI mechanism means that camera controls can not be used to set aperture when a non-AI lens is attached. For optimal exposure, you must manually match the camera aperture setting to the lens. 1 Attach the lens. Attach a non-AI lens for which you have previously provided lens data (0 164). 2 Select the lens number (0 166). Confirm that Non-AI lens is selected for Non-CPU lens data > Exposure meter coupling. "F" will flash in the control panel and f will appear in the information display. 3 Select exposure mode A or M. Rotate the exposure mode dial to A or M. 4 Adjust aperture. Choose an aperture using the lens aperture ring. t 5 Match the camera aperture setting to the lens. While the exposure meters are on, rotate the sub-command dial to set the camera to the aperture selected in Step 4. 168
