Only if the AF lens has the "D" (distance) designation, which means it can convey distance info to the CPU in the body. (AF 50 mm f/1.8D) (AF 24-85 mm f/2.8-4D)Correct for all 'baby Nikons'.
D40, D60, D3000 and D5000.
Don't forget D40X.
Even if AF lens will not autofocus on the "baby Nikons' " there is a green light inside viewfinder that will come on when camera sees an in focus condition.
You will have to manually focus the shot, but the camera will tell you when you have done that.
I believe that to be correct for all of the "baby Nikons' "
Not all AF lenses have the D designation.
What about AF-S lenses, that do not have the "D" but will give the green light to show in focus?
I thought you could use a AF Nikkor (non-D) 50mm and get a green light when the shot was in focus?
I thought you could even use an old vintage MF lens (like an old 50mm) and get a green light when the shot was in focus?
Like I said in a post the other day, have been shooting for 40 years, and still learn something every day.
