Q: QuestionWhat does "DX" mean on the Nikon lenses?
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer In digital cameras, the camera's format refers to the size of its image sensor. Nikon makes a DX-format sensor and an FX-format sensor. The DX-format is the smaller sensor at 24x16mm; the larger FX-format sensor measures 36x24mm which is approximately the same size as 35mm film.

Q: QuestionI have a D750. Will this lens work if I put the camera of crop mode. Will I see black box on the frame?
Asked by Adrian.
- A:Answer The Nikon AF-S DX Micro-NIKKOR 40mm f/2.8G Macro lens can work when the Nikon D750 DSLR camera has the crop mode set to "On". When crop mode is off you will see vignetting in live view. When crop mode is on you will see only the cropped version in live view and when using the viewfinder you will see a black box to indicate what the crop will affect. In playback you will notice this as a possible drop in resolution or the edges of the picture will be blacked out to indicate the DX crop.
