295 n n Technical Notes Read this chapter for information on compatible accessories, cleaning and storing the camera, and what to do if an error message is displayed or you encounter problems using the camera. 1 IX-NIKKOR lenses can not be used. 2 Vibration Reduction ( VR) supported with VR lenses. 3 Spot metering meters selected focus point ( 083). 4 The camera’s exposure metering and flash control sy stems do not work properly when shifting and/or tilting the lens, or when an aperture other than the maximum aperture is used. 5 Can not be used with shifting or tilting. 6 Manual shooting mode only. 7 Can be used with AF-S and AF-I lenses only ( 0297). For information on the focus points available for autofocus and electronic rangefinding, see page 297. 8 When focusing at minimum focus distance with AF 80–200mm f/2.8, AF 35–70mm f/2.8, AF 28–85mm f/3.5–4.5 , or AF 28–85mm f/3.5–4.5 le ns at maximum zoom, in-focus indicator (I) may be displayed when image on matte screen in viewfinder is not in focus. Adjust focus manually until image in viewfinder is in focus. 9 With maximum aperture of f/5.6 or faster. 10 Some lenses can not be used (see page 298).

296 n 11 Range of rotation for AI 80–200mm f/2.8 ED tripod mount is limited by camera body. Filters can not be exchanged while AI 200–400mm f/ 4 ED is mounted on camera. 12 If maximum aperture is specified using Non-CPU lens data (0 149), aperture value will be displayed in viewfinder and control panel. 13 Can be used only if lens focal length and maximum aperture are specified using Non-CPU lens data ( 0 149). Use spot or center-weighted metering if desired results are not achieved. 14 For improved precision, specify lens focal length and maximum aperture using Non-CPU lens data ( 0 149). 15 Can be used in manual mode M at shutter speeds slower than flash sync speed by one step or more. 16 Exposure determined by presetting lens aperture. In mode A, preset aperture using lens aperture ring before performing AE lock and shifting lens. In mode M, preset aperture using lens aperture ring and determine exposure before shifting lens. 17 Exposure compensation required when used with AI 28–85mm f/3.5–4.5, AI 35–105mm f/3.5–4.5, AI 35–135mm f/3.5–4.5, or AF-S 80–200mm f/2.8D. See teleconverter manual for details. 18 With maximum effective aperture of f/5.6 or faster. 19 Requires PK-12 or PK-13 auto extension ring. PB-6D may be required depending on camera orientation. 20 Use preset aperture. In mode A, set aperture using focusing attachment before determining exposure and taking photograph. • PF-4 Reprocopy Outfit requ ires PA-4 Camera Holder. • Noise in the form of horizontal lines may appear in movies taken with the following lenses at ISO sensitivities of 6400 or higher; use manual focus or focus lock. - AF-S Zoom Nikkor 24–85mm f/3.5–4.5G (IF) - AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 18–70mm f/3.5–4.5G IF-ED ARecognizing CPU and Type G and D Lenses CPU lenses (particularly types G and D) are recommended, but note that IX-NIKKOR lenses can not be used.

298 n ALens f-number The f-number given in lens names is the maximum aperture of the lens. ACompatible Non-CPU Lenses When using non-CPU lenses and accessories, rotate the camera mode dial to A or M and set aperture using the lens aperture ring. In other modes, the shutter-release is disabled. Non- CPU lens data (0 149) can be used to enable many of the features available with CPU lenses, including color matrix metering; if no data are provided, center-weighted metering will be used in place of color matrix mete ring, while if the maximum aperture is not provided, the camera aperture display will show the number of stops from maximum aperture and the actual aperture value mu st be read off the lens aperture ring. DIncompatible Accessories and Non-CPU Lenses The following can NOT be used with the D7100: • TC-16AS AF teleconverter • Non-AI lenses • Lenses that require the AU-1 focusing unit (400mm f/4.5, 600mm f/5.6, 800mm f/8, 1200mm f/11) • Fisheye (6mm f/5.6, 7.5mm f/5.6, 8mm f/8, OP 10mm f/5.6) • 2.1cm f/4 • Extension Ring K2 • 180–600mm f/8 ED (serial numbers 174041–174180) • 360–1200mm f/11 ED (serial numbers 174031–174127) • 200–600mm f/9.5 (serial numbers 280001– 300490) • AF lenses for the F3AF (AF 80mm f/2.8, AF 200mm f/3.5 ED, AF Teleconverter TC-16) • PC 28mm f/4 (serial number 180900 or earlier) • PC 35mm f/2.8 (serial numbers 851001– 906200) • PC 35mm f/3.5 (old type) • Reflex 1000mm f/6.3 (old type) • Reflex 1000mm f/11 (serial numbers 142361–143000) • Reflex 2000mm f/11 (serial numbers 200111–200310)
299 n AThe Built-in Flash The built-in flash can be used with CPU lenses with focal lengths of 16–300 mm, although in some cases the flash may be unable to entirely light the subject at some ranges or focal lengths due to shadows cast by the lens, while lenses that block the subject’s view of the red-eye reduction lamp may interfere with red-eye reduction. Remove lens hoods to prevent shadows. The flash has a minimum range of 0.6 m (2 ft) and can not be used in the macro range of macro zoom lenses. When DX (24×16) is selected for Image area, the flash may be unable to light the entire subject with the following lenses at ranges less than those given below: LensZoom positionMinimum distance without vignetting AF-S DX NIKKOR 10–24mm f/3.5–4.5G ED 18 mm 1.0 m/3 ft 3 in. 20 mm 1.0 m/3 ft 3 in. 24 mm No vignetting AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 12–24mm f/4G IF-ED 18 mm 1.5 m/4 ft 11 in. 20 mm 1.0 m/3 ft 3 in. 24 mm No vignetting AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 17–55mm f/2.8G IF-ED 24 mm 1.0 m/3 ft 3 in. 28–55 mm No vignetting AF-S DX VR Zoom-Nikkor 18–200mm f/3.5–5.6G IF-ED AF-S DX NIKKOR 18–200mm f/3.5–5.6G ED VR II 18 mm 1.0 m/3 ft 3 in. 24–200 mm No vignetting AF-S DX NIKKOR 18–300mm f/3.5–5.6G ED VR 28 mm 1.5 m/4 ft 11 in. 50–300 mm No vignetting AF-S NIKKOR 16–35mm f/4G ED VR 24 mm 1.5 m/4 ft 11 in. 28 mm 1.0 m/3 ft 3 in. 35 mm No vignetting AF-S Zoom-Nikkor 17–35mm f/2.8D IF-ED 20 mm 3.0 m/9 ft 10 in. 24 mm 1.0 m/3 ft 3 in. 28–35 mm No vignetting AF Zoom-Nikkor 18–35mm f/3.5– 4.5D IF-ED 18 mm 1.5 m/4 ft 11 in. 24–35 mm No vignetting AF-S NIKKOR 24–70mm f/2.8G ED 28 mm 1.5 m/4 ft 11 in. 35 mm 1.0 m/3 ft 3 in. 50–70 mm No vignetting AF-S Zoom-Nikkor 28–70mm f/2.8D IF-ED 28 mm 1.5 m/4 ft 11 in. 35–70 mm No vignetting AF-S NIKKOR 14–24mm f/2.8G ED When DX (24×16) is selected for Image area , the flash will be unable to light the entire subject at all ranges.

302 n ACalculating Angle of View The size of the area exposed by a 35mm camera is 36 × 24 mm. The size of the area exposed by the D7100 when DX (24×16) is selected for Image area in the shooting menu, in contrast, is 23.5 × 15.6 mm, meaning that the angle of view of a 35mm camera is approximately 1.5 times that of the D7100 (when 1.3× (18×12) is selected, the size of the area exposed is reduced and the angle of view is reduced by a further 1.3×). Picture size (35mm format) (36 × 24 mm) Lens Picture size when DX (24×16) is selected for Image area (23.5 × 15.6 mm) Picture size when 1.3× (18×12) is selected for Image area (18.8 × 12.5 mm) Picture diagonal Angle of view (35mm format) Angle of view when DX (24×16) is selected for Image area Angle of view when 1.3× (18×12) is selected for Image area
