Nikon d60 which lens

We will guide you here and make sure that you get the help you need. First, here are some quick specifications. This camera lacks a built-in autofocus motor. Because of this the lenses that also lack a built-in autofocus motor will not be listed and included in the different categories below since these combinations will force you to use manual focus.

If the lens only supports manual focus it will be listed since it then doesn't matter if the camera has a built-in autofocus motor or not. Read more here. Here you can see all lenses registered on Lensora and if they work with Nikon D60 or not.

Next to each lens you can click for more information and you are presented with why they are compatible or not. Lens compatibility chart for Nikon D On the page below you will find all lenses registered on Lensora that are compatible with Nikon D It also shows you the Focal Length that you will experience since this camera does not have a full format sensor, and a focal length multiplier mentioned above.

The D80 has 11 active AF points, but the D60 has only three, arranged horizontally across the frame. With the more limited AF array, the D60's ability to track moving subjects will be less than that of the D80, but the 3-point AF array isn't unreasonable to find in its price bracket.

This is one area where the interests of novice and more experienced shooters may actually converge. Both would benefit from the D80's more sophisticated AF system, and the argument could be made that novices actually need a better AF system than advanced amateurs, as they'll be less accustomed to paying attention to what the camera is focusing on.

That said, it's not too difficult to check that one of the 3 AF areas is covering your subject, and it's a relatively small step up to learn to aim the camera and lock focus. If the switch on the lens barrel is set to "M," focusing will be under manual control, regardless of the setting of the switch on the camera body.

Most AF-S lenses with the built-in Silent Wave focus motor let you manually focus the lens at any time, regardless of the camera's focus setting, so there's less need for a body-mounted focus-mode switch: The menu selection should do fine for most users.

Manual focus is the fourth option. Single Servo simply means that the camera sets focus only once, when the Shutter button is first pressed halfway, and is best for still objects.

Continuous Servo means that the camera continuously adjusts the focus, as long as the Shutter button is halfway pressed, and is best for moving subjects. The Auto setting added to Nikon's D-series SLR line with the earlier D50 lets the camera select the servo mode, depending on the movement of the subject. The Nikon D60 is similar to the D40 and D40x in how it behaves in out-of-focus conditions. The D60 never fires the shutter if the lens isn't focused.

Unless of course, you have the camera or lens set to manual focus operation. This more restrictive shooting could be an inconvenience to more experienced shooters, but will almost certainly be a benefit to novices, as the camera itself will guard against capturing out-of-focus images. Focus can be confined to one of the three specific focus points in both Single Area mode, and in Dynamic Area which offers focus tracking.

Single Area AF simply means that the camera sets focus based on the specific area you've designated. Dynamic AF employs all three of the autofocus areas. When Dynamic Area focusing is enabled, the camera first focuses on the subject in the chosen focus area. After the camera has initially "locked on" to the subject, if it moves to a different AF area, the camera will shift its focus to "follow" the subject.

This is great for irregularly moving subjects. Sports and kids come to mind. In both Dynamic and Single Area AF modes, you can change the primary focus area using the right or left directions on the Multi-Selector pad. Closest Subject Priority is a third option, selected via either the AF-Area mode option on the shooting screen or by a custom settings menu item.

Closest Subject Priority means that the camera will focus on the closest object that falls under one of the three focus points.

There are two methods by which you can lock focus with the Nikon D The first is via the Shutter button, placing your subject in the selected focus area, halfway pressing and holding the Shutter button, then realigning the composition and firing the shutter.

Reducing the chance that you'll accidentally trip the shutter when you don't intend to. You can program it to lock either focus or exposure separately, or both together the default. You can also change its operation so a single press locks and holds the exposure setting. No need to keep the button held down. We thought to call particular attention to it, because some competing cameras notably the Canon Digital Rebel and Sony Alpha series use the flash as an AF-assist light.

This would be fine, but they also require that the flash be used in the exposure, so there's no way to have AF assist for available-light shots. The D60 doesn't have this limitation. The Nikon D60 includes a two-pronged approach to fighting dust. The dust reduction system previously seen on the D digital SLR has been adopted for the D60, where the optical low pass filter over the sensor is vibrated to shake off dust. Nikon has coupled this with what it is calling the "Airflow Control System".

In essence, the camera's internals have been designed so as to control the flow of air - along with the dust the air is carrying - when the shutter is triggered, channelling dust particles away from the sensor.

Despite the new dust cleaning features, we haven't seen an automatic system yet that's capable of removing all dust. So while this is a nice feature to have, don't be fooled into thinking that you won't have to either learn how to clean your sensor or send the camera in for cleaning.
