Mounting and Detaching the Lens

See your camera’s instructions for details on 

mounting and detaching the lens.

 

z

After detaching the lens, place the lens with the 

rear end up to prevent the lens surface and 

electrical contacts from getting scratched.

 

z

If the contacts get soiled, scratched, or have 

fingerprints on them, corrosion or faulty 

connections can result. The camera and lens 

may not operate properly.

 

z

If the contacts get soiled or have fingerprints on 

them, clean them with a soft cloth.

 

z

If you remove the lens, cover it with the dust 

cap. To attach it properly, align the lens mount 

index and the 

 index of the dust cap as shown 

in the diagram, and turn clockwise. To remove it, 

reverse the order.

Setting the Focus Mode

To shoot in autofocus mode, set the focus mode 

switch to AF.

To use only manual focusing, set the focus mode 

switch to MF, and focus by turning the focusing 

ring.

 

z

Do not touch the rotating parts of the lens while 

autofocus is active.

 

z

Do not adjust focus manually when the focus 

mode switch is set to AF.
