When using non-Nikon crop lenses, Auto DX will not switch to DX mode. Only when using Nikon DX lenses will Nikon FX cameras switch to DX crop mode when Auto DX is set to ON.

Many thanks. This makes it clearer also to new users as the manual did not specifically mention 3rd party DX lenses.

Wow.. that is news. SIgma must have included the DX instruction set in the reverse engineering this time.

Yes, I used to have a Sigma 8-16mm briefly and remembered auto DX works on my D800E as well.

Yes, indeed this is news, good news!
Probably 3rd parties are indeed catching up with the latest camera features to push heir sales!

There are instances in other manuals which mentioned ...

"ït may not work with other maufacturers / brand ..."
