What it is
The Nikon D3000 is a digital single-lens reflex camera (DSLR) that uses the Nikon F-mount for interchangeable lenses. The F-mount is a bayonet lens mount with a 44 mm throat and a flange-to-focal-plane distance of 46.5 mm, first introduced on the Nikon F camera in 1959.[1]
How it works
As an F-mount camera, the Nikon D3000 accepts a wide range of Nikkor and third-party lenses. The mount's three-lug design and mechanical aperture lever allow the camera to communicate with lenses for aperture control and autofocus operation.[1]
