If I'm not mistaken, you would just use the control wheel on the camera to set the aperture you want.

To enable the control wheel aperture control on an AF D lens, you need to set the aperture ring to the fully closed down position (highest number) and preferably lock it in this position. The reason for this is that the camera needs the full aperture range available.

According to an article on PhotographyLife, you should choose the semi automated mode on your camera's.

  • Image Quality: RAW
  • RAW Recording: Lossless Compressed (if available)
  • White Balance: Auto
  • Picture Control / Picture Style / Creative Style / Film Simulation: Standard
  • Color Space: sRGB
  • Long Exposure Noise Reduction: On
  • High ISO Noise Reduction: Off
  • Active D-Lighting / DRO, HDR, Lens Corrections (Vignette Control, Chromatic Aberration Control, Distortion Control, etc): Off
