Attaching / Removing Lens

Attaching

1. Remove the front body cap, just like
you would remove a lens, by pushing
the lens release button 

 backward

and then turn the front body cap or the
lens itself counter clockwise and lift
out.

2. Attaching the lens

Align the white alignment dot of the lens (on the
shiny flange) with the camera's white dot, fit the
lens into the camera and rotate it clockwise until
it clicks into place.

To remove the front lens cap, squeeze the shiny
sections together and lift out.

To remove rear lens cap turn it counter clockwise.

Removing

While sliding the lens release button back 

,

rotate the lens counter clockwise until it stops
and lift it off.

 After removing the lens from the camera body, protect both ends by attaching the

caps.

 Oil, dust, fingerprints or water on the electronic contacts could result in malfunction

or corrosion. Wipe such impurities off with a clean piece of cloth.

 Do not touch the distance ring or other rotating parts during the auto focus opera-

tion.

 When installing a lens, do not press the lens release button
