2. After mounting the camera securely, select your lens and mount it on the camera. To release the
body cap press the small button on top of the lens mount (12:00 position.) and rotate the cap
counter clockwise. To attach a new lens line up the red mark on the bottom of the lens mount (6:00
position.) with the red alignment dot on the lens barrel and rotate the lens clockwise until the cam
locks securely into place. The lens alignment mark for the Panoscan camera is at the 6:00 position.
This is to ensure that the corner notches on the fisheye lens align to allow the lens to see the 12:00
and 6:00 positions without obstruction.
When the lens is mounted correctly it should be locked so that it cannot rotate without pressing the
release button on the lens mount.
Trick: If the lens mount is excessively tight you can try rubbing your finger on the side of your nose or forehead and then use
your finger to apply the oil from your skin on the front chrome surface of the lens mount. This tiny amount of lubrication will
ensure that the lenses mount smoothly.
