p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · How to enable beep with ZF.2 lenses on D800E


Beep is turned on in setting and works with other Nikon lenses.

However, when I have Otus mounted, the focus dot works fine, but it doesn't beep. What am I missing here?

Thanks guys!

Unfortunately Nikon bodies don't beep for MF confirmation. Canon bodies do btw.

Even if it did beep, I couldn't hear it.

"and works with other Nikon lenses"

Are you sure with other manual Nikon lenses?!

I actually enabled the beep on my canon, helps with MF lenses when your eyes aren't great. Thought it worked on nikon even though I always had it turned off.

I'm pretty sure the focus confirmation beep on Nikon only works with autofocus in AF-S mode.

Not impossible. I have had chips installed on a couple of AI-s lenses, that can be programmed to provide exif, fine tune focus, and enable beep.

On Nikon body, only works in AF-S, Focus priority -AF only. Have yet to find a way to enable with manual focus.

Yes, pretty impossible. Not a Nikon lens.

You mean, after I had chips installed on Nikon AI-s lenses, with beep enabled, they are not Nikon lenses any more?

One more time. You asked about the Otus, which is a Zeiss lens. You chipped a couple Nikon lenses, which are not Zeiss lenses. Hence my answer. I looked into this years ago for my 100 MP 2.0

Definitely impossible to "enable beep" in this case. As already said, beep only works with AF lenses in AF-S mode. Tough to do that with an AI-S lens... Chipped or not.

If you try it with a Nikon AF lens in manual focus mode it will not work. AF only. It would be nice if they changed it for manual focus mode and manual lenses. Maybe one day - at least unlike Canon, you needn't chip a lens to get the green dot.
