.3 Lock aperture at the minimum setting
This step is not necessary if you are using a type G lens (type G lenses
are not equipped with an aperture ring). If you are using a lens of
another type, lock aperture at the minimum setting (highest f/-number).
If you do not perform this step when using a CPU lens, the aperture
displays in the control panel and viewfinder will show a blinking
when the camera is turned on. Photographs can not be taken until you
have turned the camera off and locked aperture at the highest f/-num-
ber.
Detaching the Lens
Be sure the camera is off when removing or exchanging
lenses. To remove the lens, press and hold the lens-
release button while turning the lens clockwise.
Non-CPU Lenses
Non-CPU lenses can only be used when the function dial is set to M (manual exposure
mode). In other exposure modes, the shutter release will be disabled. When a non-
CPU lens is attached, the camera exposure meters will not function, and the aperture
displays in the control panel and viewfinder will show
only be set using the lens aperture ring.

Questions and answers
I have the camera set on auto. I take closeup facial photos with a 60mm microlens in a florescent light setting with a flash.. All of the pictures are washed out. This is a fairly new issue and I have tried changing settings without improvement. Can you help me with the settings?
To avoid washed-out close-up facial photos with a 60mm micro lens in fluorescent light using flash on the Nikon D100, consider the following settings:
1. Use a CPU Lens (Type G or D): These lenses support 3D-matrix metering and balanced fill flash for better exposure control.
2. Adjust ISO Sensitivity: The D100’s ISO range is 200-1600. Use ISO 200 to minimize noise and prevent overexposure.
3. Set Flash Power and Position:
- Use the Nikon SB-80DX Speedlight and adjust the flash head for bounce flash to soften lighting.
- Reduce flash intensity if the subject is too bright.
4. Enable 3D Multi Sensor Balanced Fill Flash: This helps balance ambient and flash lighting.
5. Use a Circular Polarizing Filter Only if Necessary: Avoid other filters that may interfere with autofocus or exposure.
6. Adjust White Balance for Fluorescent Lighting: Set the white balance to “Fluorescent” or manually adjust for accurate color rendering.
7. Aperture and Shutter Speed:
- Use an aperture around f/5.6 to f/8 for sharpness and depth of field.
- The flash sync speed is 1/180s; ensure it is set correctly.
8. Avoid Additional Filters in Bright Light: This prevents moiré and excessive exposure issues.
These settings should help achieve well-exposed close-up facial photos without overexposure.
