AF Motors.

When you use a lens with a built in AF motor, on a camera (D300) with a built in AF motor, which motor takes precedence?

I did know the answer to this, but have forgotten.....The manual seems to be of little help....Thanks.

The built in motor takes precedence.

Thanks Joe..That was my recollection, but which built in motor I assume you mean camera body?

If the lens has a built in motor then only this is used,The motor in body can only be used if their is a mechanical connection which is the small spindle that sticks out at the lens mount on the lens.Hope this helps and makes sense.

Yes that makes sense....I looks a bit like a flat headed screw. on a non built in motor lens?
