2. Setting the Focus Mode

To shoot in autofocus (AF) mode, set the focus mode switch to AF 

.

To shoot in manual focus (MF) mode, set the focus mode switch to MF, and turn 

the focusing ring to set the focus 

.

When the camera AF mode is ONE SHOT AF, focus manually by pressing 

the shutter button halfway and turning the focusing ring. (Full-time manual 

focus)

 When turning the focusing ring suddenly, the focus adjustment may be 

delayed.

 The focus cannot be adjusted in MF mode while the camera is off.

 Do not touch the front rotating parts of the lens while autofocus is active.

3. Hood (Sold Separately)

The ES-68 hood can keep unwanted light out of the lens, and also protects the 

lens from rain, snow, and dust.

To attach the hood, align the hood’s attachment position mark with the red dot 

on the front of the lens, then turn the hood in the direction of the arrow until the 

lens’s red dot is aligned with the hood’s stop position mark 

.

To remove the hood, hold down the button on the side and turn the hood in the 

direction of the arrow until the position mark on the hood aligns with the red dot 

.

The hood can be reverse-mounted on the lens for storage.

 Part of the picture may be blocked if the hood is not attached properly.

 When attaching or detaching the hood, grasp the base of the hood to 

turn it. To prevent deformation, do not grasp the rim of the hood to turn 

it.

 If the lens is attached to the camera with the hood reverse-mounted, 

remove the hood before removing the lens from the camera.

4. Filters (Sold Separately)

You can attach filters to the filter mounting thread (ø49 mm) on the front of the 

lens.

Only one filter may be attached.

5. Extension Tubes (Sold Separately)

You can attach extension tube EF12 II or EF25 II for magnified shots. For 

shooting distance and magnification, see the extension tube specifications.

MF mode is recommended for accurate focusing.

 The lens length is measured from the mount surface to the front end of the 

lens. Add 23.9 mm when including the lens cap and dust cap.

 The size and weight listed are for the lens only, except as indicated.

 The extenders cannot be used with this lens.

 The close-up lenses cannot be used with this lens. (The end of the lens will 

become heavy, causing the focus to become unstable.)
