    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

    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

    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. CPU lenses can be identified  by the presence of CPU contacts, type G and D 
    lenses by a letter on the lens barrel.
     Type G lenses are not equipped with a lens aperture ring.

    AAutofocus Support
    If the combined aperture when the camera is used with an 
    AF-S teleconverter is slower than f/5.6 but is equal to or faster 
    than f/8, autofocus and electronic rangefinding will be 
    available only with the focus point shown at right and the camera may be unable to focus on 
    dark or low-contrast subjects.
     Single point AF is used when 3D-tracking or auto-area AF is 
    selected for AF-area mode ( 073).

    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.

    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

    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×).
