| Lens
compatibility |
Compatible
with virtually any F-mount Nikkor lens, picture
angle with D1 is equivalent to 1.5x focal length in 35mm
format. (Focal length multiplier = 1.5, therefore a Nikkor
28mm lens on this camera has a focal length equivalent
to 42mm). |
| Usable
lenses |
1) D-type AF Nikkor: All functions possible
2) D-type Manual-Focus Nikkor: All functions except
autofocus possible
3) AF Nikkor other than D-type: All functions except
3D Color Matrix Metering and 3D Multi-Sensor Balanced
Fill-Flash for D1 possible,
4) AI-P Nikkor: All functions except 3D Colour Matrix
Metering, 3D Multi-Sensor Balanced Fill-Flash for
D1 and autofocus possible
5) Non-CPU: Usable in [A] or [M] mode
Centre-Weighted or Spot Metering; Electronic Rangefinder
usable with lens with maximum aperture of f/5.6 or
faster
Note: When Non-CPU lenses are used, [A] mode is selected
automatically for [P] or [S] mode, also Centre-Weighted
Metering is selected for 3D Colour Matrix Metering.
