Detailed Operation
• Using a non-AI lens
To attach a Nikon lens that does not have an AI coupling mechanism
(lenses made before 1977), the F6‘s meter coupling lever must first be
modified. Contact an authorized Nikon dealer or service center for
modification. After modification, follow the instructions for
attaching a non-AI lens.
AI lens and non-AI lens
• AI lenses have a meter coupling ridge and holes on
the meter coupling shoe (AF Nikkor lens [except for
F3AF], Series-E and Nikkor 50mm f/1.8 do not have
a meter coupling shoe).
