Bayonet mount

A twist-lock mechanism used almost universally for mounting lenses on camera bodies. You line up two dots, one on the lens barrel and one on the camera body and insert the lens, then twist the lens in the mount until it locks into place. The lens is released again by pressing a button on the camera body to release a catch, then twisting and removing it.
