1 NIKKOR VR 10–100mm f/4–5.6
1 NIKKOR lenses are exclusively for Nikon 1 interchangeable lens
format digital cameras. The angle of view is equivalent to a
35 mm format lens with a focal length about 2.7× longer. The
lenses listed above support vibration reduction and can be used
with  On or  Off selected for  Optical VR in the camera menus
( 0 183).
Zoom lenses can be zoomed in or out using the zoom ring (040).

ALens Care
• Keep the CPU contacts clean.
• Use a blower to remove dust and lint from the lens surfaces. To
remove smudges and fingerprints, apply a small amount of ethanol
or lens cleaner to a soft, clean cotton cloth or lens-cleaning tissue and
clean from the center outwards using a circular motion, taking care
not to leave smears or touch the glass with your fingers.
• Never use organic solvents such as paint thinner or benzene to clean
the lens.
• A lens hood or NC filter can be used  to protect the front lens element.
When using an optional lens hood, do not pick up or hold the lens or
camera using only the hood. Lens hoods and filters are not available
for the 1 NIKKOR VR 10–30mm f/3.5–5.6 PD-ZOOM.
• When the lens is not in use, attach  the rear cap and either ensure that
the lens is retracted and the cove r closed (1 NIKKOR VR 10–30mm 
f/3.5–5.6 PD-ZOOM) or attach  the front cap (other lenses).
• If the lens will not be used for an extended period, store it in a cool,
dry location to prevent mold and rust. Do not store in direct sunlight
or with naphtha or camphor moth balls.
• Keep the lens dry. Rusting of the  internal mechanism can cause irrep-
arable damage.
• Leaving the lens in extremely hot locations could damage or warp
parts made from reinforced plastic.
• When using the 1 NIKKOR VR 10–30mm f/3.5–5.6 PD-ZOOM, be sure
not touch the lens cover. Failure  to observe this precaution could
result in product malfunction.

❚❚The Optional FT1 Mount Adapter
Read this section for information on using the optional FT1
mount adapter. Before proceeding , be sure that you have read
and understood this manual and the documentation for the FT1
and lenses.
Autofocus
Autofocus is available only with AF-S lenses; other lenses sup-
port manual focus only. Set  the camera focus mode to AF-S or
AF-C . The only AF-area mode available is  Single-point and the
camera focuses on the subject in the center focus area only. Face
priority is not supported. In so me cases, a beep may sound, the
in-focus indicator may be displayed, and pictures can be taken
when the camera is not in focus; if this occurs, focus manually.
Manual Focus
Follow the steps below to focus manually when using the FT1
with a NIKKOR F mount lens.
1Select manual focus mode.
Select  Manual focus  for Focus mode  in the shooting menu
( 0 186).
2Focus.
Rotate the lens focus ring until the
subject is in focus. 
						

							236
n
If AF-S  or AF-C  is selected for  Focus mode and the lens sup-
ports autofocus with manual override, you can focus using
autofocus and then keep the shutter-release button pressed
halfway and rotate the lens focus ring to fine-tune focus man-
ually. To refocus using autofocus, press the shutter-release
button halfway again.
To zoom in on the display for more
precise focus, press  J (note that this
feature is not available in some
modes). A navigation window will
appear in a gray frame at the bottom
right of the display.
Navigation window
Command dial
Use the command dial to zoom in or
out (to a maximum magnification of
10×) and the multi selector to scroll to
areas of the frame not visible in the

The Electronic Rangefinder
Note that with some subjects, the in-focus indicator (I) may be
displayed when the camera is not in focus. Check focus in the
display before shooting.
Error Messages and Displays
The following warnings appear in the camera aperture display. If a CPU lens is attached in manual focus
mode, the focus indicator can be used to
check whether the camera is focused on
the subject in the center focus area.
Focus indicatorStatus
I In focus.
F Camera focused in front of subject.
H Camera focused behind subject.
FH Unable to determine focus.
(flashes)
DisplayProblemSolution
FEE Lens aperture ring is not
locked at minimum aperture. When using CPU lenses, lock
aperture ring at minimum aper-
ture (highest f-number).
F–– Non-CPU lens is attached, or
no lens is attached. When using non-CPU lens, rotate
lens aperture ring to adjust aper-
ture.

Restrictions
•Pictures can not be taken in some modes. Choose a different
mode if necessary.
• Motion Snapshots can be recorded only when an AF-S lens is
attached and the camera is in autofocus mode and then only
when the subject is in focus. Do not attempt to adjust focus
using the focus ring.
• The sound monitor switch and focus operation button (Focus
Lock/MEMORY RECALL/AF Start) have no effect.
Precautions for Use
• Lenses over 380 g (13.4 oz) should be supported at all times. Do
not hold the camera or carry the camera by the strap without
supporting the lens. Failure to observe this precaution could
damage the camera lens mount.
• Lines may appear in photographs taken with non-CPU lenses
stopped down to minimum aperture.
• In advanced movie mode, select exposure mode  A or  M to pre-
vent sounds made by the lens being picked up by the micro-
phone.
• Frame rates may slow when  I is selected in continuous mode.
• Certain lenses will block the AF-assist illuminator and, at some
distances, the flash.
• The tops and bottoms may be missing from circular  bokeh
shapes created at wide apertures using lenses with a maximum
aperture of f/1.4.
