This section lists the restrictions and precautions that apply when using
F mount NIKKOR lenses with the FTZ mount adapter. You should also
consult the mount adapter manual and the “Supported Features”
section in this guide.
Points Common to all F Mount NIKKOR Lenses
The following restrictions and precautions apply to all F mount NIKKOR
lenses:
•If the lens is equipped with an aperture ring, select minimum
aperture (the highest f-number) before attaching the lens to the
mount adapter.
•Attaching a DX lens automatically selects the DX image area and
disables the Image Dust Off ref photo option in the camera setup
menu.
•Movies shot when a DX lens is mounted on the Z 6 and 1920 × 1080
120p, 1920 × 1080 100p, or 1920 × 1080 slow-mo is selected for
Frame size/frame rate in the movie shooting menu will be recorded
at the following frame sizes and rates:
- 1920 × 1080; 120p: 1920 × 1080; 60p
- 1920 × 1080; 100p: 1920 × 1080; 50p
- 1920 × 1080; 30p ×4 (slow-mo): 1920 × 1080; 30p
- 1920 × 1080; 25p ×4 (slow-mo): 1920 × 1080; 25p
- 1920 × 1080; 24p ×5 (slow-mo): 1920 × 1080; 24p
•Custom Setting f2 (Custom control assignment) > Lens Fn button
option in the camera menus applies to the lens focus function
button. In the case of lenses equipped with a focus function selector,
the option chosen with the camera applies only if AF-L is selected
with the focus function selector.

•The Focus shift shooting option in the camera photo shooting
menu can be used with AF-S and AF-P lenses. No peaking stack
image is recorded.
•The Vignette control and Auto distortion control options in the
movie shooting menu have no effect.
•The edges of pictures taken with Auto distortion control enabled in
the photo shooting menu may be cropped out in order to reduce
distortion. Take a test shot and view the results in the display.
•Sounds may be audible from the lens or mount adapter during
shooting or when the camera is turned on or off.
•The WT-7 wireless transmitter cannot be attached to the camera
tripod mount while the FTZ mount adapter is in use. Insert the WT-7
into its supplied case and attach it to the strap or the tripod.
•The option selected for Custom Setting g4 (AF speed) applies only
to AF-P lenses and the lenses listed below. All other lenses focus at
maximum speed.

AVibration Reduction
The vibration reduction feature for VR lenses combines with on-camera
vibration reduction to reduce blur caused by camera motion on the pitch, yaw,
and roll axes. The option selected with the lens vibration reduction on/off
switch takes precedence over the option selected with the camera. On-camera
vibration reduction can also be used with non-CPU lenses if the focal length is
supplied using the Non-CPU lens data option in the camera setup menu.
Note that depending on the lens, on-camera vibration reduction may cause a
drop in peripheral illumination or otherwise fail to produce the desired results.

The electronic rangefinder may not function as expected and autofocus
fine-tuning may be necessary to obtain the desired results with some
lenses. In addition, autofocus may, depending on shooting conditions,
fail to produce the desired results with the following lenses. Repeat the
autofocus operation until the subject is in focus or focus using manual
focus.
