Can you use a Nikon camera without a lens?

Yes, you can. Just make a very small hole at the center of your body cap (at your own risk 🙂 ) and attach it. It will work just like the old pinhole camera. Yes, you should be able to use your camera without a lens — as long as you are in M (Manual) mode.

What is a kit lens good for?

At its longest focal length, your kit lens can be considered a short to medium telephoto, which makes it good for portraiture. Telephotos are the best lenses for portrait work, as they allow you to create a shallow depth of field and isolate your subject from the background.

What happens if you use a camera without a lens?

No, without a lens the light hits from any direction to any point of the sensor. The sensor will be evenly lit just like the wall in a room. The point of a lens is to focus so that one point in the sensor gets light only from one point in the focal plane.

Can a camera take pictures without a lens?

Yes, you should be able to use your camera without a lens — as long as you are in M (Manual) mode. If your camera won’t take a picture in Manual mode with no lens attached, you could look into getting a lens adapter for your camera. Just get one with no glass inside it.

Do I really need a zoom lens?

Zoom lenses are a great option when you need to change the focal length quickly or when you don’t want to carry a lot of weight. Remember that a zoom lens also has disadvantages, especially in low lighting conditions.

How far can a 55mm lens shoot?

For a head and shoulders shot (I’m giving 2 feet for the subject size which will be a looser framing) you would be about 5 ft from the subject with a 55mm lens. That’s probably far enough not to worry about any perpsective distortion (if you do a tight headshot at 55mm there would likely be some distortion).

Can any lens fit on Nikon?

Yes, except for very old models before 1959. It will “fit” because Nikon has the same bayonet mount called the Nikon-F mount which hasn’t changed since 1959! So all the lenses are interchangeable with film SLR and DX and FX bodies.

How do I take sharp pictures with 18 55mm lens?

Here’s how.

  1. Maximize the focal length to 55mm.
  2. Get close to the object that you want to shoot. You will notice that the autofocus will fail at this close a distance.
  3. Switch to manual focus mode on your lens.

Can I turn my camera on without lens?

Re: what if you turned on the camera without a lens attached and shot? This only works if you set the “shoot w/o lens” option in the camera menu. Without setting this option to “on”, the camera refuses to operate without a compatible lens attached.

Can old lenses be used on the Nikon D3200?

Two useful points regarding the use of old lenses on the D3200… First, Nikon claims that non-AI lenses (those made before 1978) cannot be used at all on this camera. My D3200, the three ancient non-AI lenses that I own, and I, very much disagree.

Can I use AI lenses on the D3200?

Also AI or AI-S lenses won’t meter on the D3xxx and the D5xxx bodies. I don’t think the D3200 will control the aperture at all on any non-CPU lenses. You can, of course, only use such lenses in “M” mode.

Will a Nikon 3200 meter with non-CPU lenses?

The 3200 will not meter at all with any non CPU lenses. You will need to use an electronic rangefinder etc to meter with those lenses. Meaning full manual control only. I’m not a pro photographer. I just play one on TV.
