available for autofocus and electronic rangefinding, see page 423.
14 When focusing at minimum focus distance wi th 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 lens at maximum zoom, in-focus 
indicator may be displayed when image on matte screen in viewfinder is not in focus.
 Adjust 
focus manually until image in  viewfinder is in focus.
15 With maximum aperture of f/5.6 or faster.
16 Some lenses can not be used (see page 424).
17 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.
18 If maximum aperture is specified using  Non-CPU lens data (0 229), aperture value 
will be displayed in viewfinder and control panel.
19 Can be used only if lens focal length and maximum aperture are specified using  Non-CPU 
lens data  (0 229).
 Use spot or center-weighted metering if desired results are not 
achieved.
20 For improved precision, specify lens focal length and maximum aperture using  Non-CPU 
lens data  (0 229).
21 Can be used in manual exposure modes at shutter speeds slower than flash sync speed by one  step or more.
22 Exposure determined by presetting lens aperture.
 In aperture-priority auto exposure mode, 
preset aperture using lens aperture ring be fore performing AE lock and shifting lens. In 
manual exposure mode, preset aperture using  lens aperture ring and determine exposure 
before shifting lens.
23 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.
24 With maximum effective aperture of f/5.6 or faster.
25 Requires PK-12 or PK-13 auto extension ring.
 PB-6D may be required depending on camera 
orientation.
26 Use preset aperture.
 In aperture-priority auto exposure  mode, set aperture using focusing 
attachment before determining exposure and taking photograph.

•PF-4 Reprocopy Outfit requires PA-4 Camera Holder.
• Noise in the form of lines may appear during autofocus at high ISO 
sensitivities.
 Use manual focus or focus lock. Lines may also appear at 
high ISO sensitivities when aperture is adjusted during movie 
recording or live view photography.
ARecognizing CPU and Type G, E, and D Lenses
CPU lenses (particularly types G, E, 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, E, and D lenses by a letter on the 
lens barrel.
 Type G and E lenses are not equipped with a lens aperture 
ring.

AThe AF-S/AF-I Teleconverter
The table below shows the focus points available for autofocus and 
electronic rangefinding when an AF-S/AF-I teleconverter is attached.
 Note that the camera may be unable to focus on dark or low-contrast 
subjects if the combined aperture is slower than f/5.6. Autofocus is not 
available when teleconverters are used with the AF-S VR Micro-Nikkor 
105mm f/2.8G IF-ED.

ALens f-number
The f-number given in lens names  is the maximum aperture of the 
lens.
ACompatible Non-CPU Lenses
Non-CPU lens data  (0 229) 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 metering, 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 must be read 
off the lens aperture ring.
DIncompatible Accessories and Non-CPU Lenses
The following can NOT be used with the D810:
• TC-16A 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,

DAF-Assist Illumination
Some lenses may block the illumina tor at certain focus distances. 
Remove lens hoods when using the illuminator.
 More information on 
lenses that can be used with the AF -assist illuminator may be found on 
page 494.
AThe Built-in Flash
The built-in flash can be used with  CPU lenses with focal lengths of 
24 mm (16 mm in DX format) to 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.
 The following illustrations show the 
effect of vignetting caused by shadows cast by the lens when the flash 
is used.
ShadowVignetting
More information on lenses that can be used with the built-in flash 
may be found on page 494.

ACalculating Angle of View
The D810 can be used with Nikon lenses for 35 mm (135) format 
cameras.
 If  Auto DX crop  is on (075) and a 35 mm format lens is 
attached, the angle of view will be the same as a frame of 35 mm film 
(35.9 × 24.0 mm); if a DX lens is attached, the angle of view will 
automatically be adjusted to 23.4 × 15.6 mm (DX format).
To choose an angle of view different from that of the current lens, turn 
Auto DX crop  off and select from  FX (36 × 24), 1.2× (30 × 20) , 
DX (24 × 16) , and 5 : 4 (30 × 24) .
 If a 35 mm format lens is attached, the 
angle of view could be reduced by 1.5× by selecting  DX (24 × 16) or by 
1.2× by selecting  1.2× (30 × 20), to expose a smaller area, or the aspect 
ratio could be changed by selecting  5 : 4 (30 × 24).
