Attaching the Lens 53 Getting Started Attach a proper lens to the camera's body. When you use one of the following lenses with the Q, all the camera's exposure modes will be available. (a) DA, DA L, D FA, FA J lenses (b) Lenses with an Aperture s (Auto) position, when used in the s position 2 Turn the camera off before attaching or removing the lens to prevent unexpected lens movement. • When lenses described in (b) are used in a position other than s, some functions will be restricted. See "Notes on [37. Using Aperture Ring]" (p.294). • With factory default settings, the camera will not work with other lenses and accessories. Set [37. Using Aperture Ring] in the [A Custom Setting 6] menu to [Permitted] to use them. (p.294) 1 Make sure that the camera is turned off. 2 Remove the body mount cover (1) and lens mount cover (2). Be sure to put the lens down with the lens mount side facing upward to protect the lens mount from damage after removal. 3 Align the Lens mount index (red dots; 3) on the camera and the lens, and secure by turning the lens clockwise until it clicks. After attaching, turn the lens counterclockwise to check that the lens is locked in place. 3
