The
Nikon F3AF
is
an
AI
-type (Automatic Maximum Aperture Indexing) camera
which performs full-aperture metering with AI-type lenses. The aperture ring of
these lenses has a meter coupling ridge
® and a meter coupling shoe
®l
containing
two holes (see illustration). Almo
st
all lenses now manufactured
by
Nikon are of the
AI
type. However, please confirm whether or not your lens
is
AI
before using
it
with
th
e
F3AF.
Note that the "
AI
" or "
AI
-S" mark
on
the cover of the instruction sheet
or book provided with AI-Nikkor lenses
is

Se
ries E lenses

not
have
a meter
coupl
ing
shoe.
