Using the Mount Adapter

Autofocus may not function as expected when the adapter is used with an F mount NIKKOR lens. If the camera has trouble focusing, set the AF-area mode to single point and select the center focus area, or focus manually.
With some lenses, the camera vibration reduction feature may not function as expected or may cause vignetting or a drop in peripheral illumination.

Precautions for Use

When using the adapter with lenses weighing over 1300 g (2 lb 13.9 oz), support the lens when holding the camera and do not use the camera strap.
Failure to observe these precautions could damage the camera lens mount.
Keep the CPU and lens signal contacts clean.
Do not leave the adapter in humid locations or in locations in which it may be ex-
posed to moisture. Rusting of the internal mechanism can cause irreparable damage.
Do not leave the adapter next to open flames or in other extremely hot locations.
Extreme heat could damage or warp the adapter.

Caring for the Adapter

Do not touch the interior of the mount adapter. Use a blower or soft brush to remove dust, being careful not to rub or scratch the inside of the adapter.
When cleaning the adapter, use a blower to remove dust and lint and then wipe the adapter gently with a soft, dry cloth.
Never use organic solvents such as paint thinner or benzene to clean the adapter.
Do not store with naphtha or camphor mothballs or in direct sunlight. If the adapter will not be used for an extended period, store it in a cool, dry location to prevent mold and rust.
