1. Mounting and Detaching the Lens
See your camera’s instructions for details on mounting and
detaching the lens.
•
After detaching the lens, place the lens with the rear end
up to prevent the lens surface and contacts from getting
scratched. (fig.
❶
)
•
Contacts that are scratched, soiled, or have fingerprints on
them may result in faulty connections or corrosion, which
may lead to malfunctions. If the contacts get soiled, clean
them with a soft cloth.
•
Attach the lens cap and dust cap when disconnecting the
lens. When attaching the dust cap, align the lens mount
index with the
k
index of the dust cap and rotate in a
clockwise direction as shown in the illustration. (fig.
❷
)
Follow the reverse procedure to detach it.
2. Zooming
Turn the lens’ zoom ring to adjust the size of the photo field or
subject. (fig.
❸
)
• For wide shots, turn the zoom ring toward the wide end.
• For close-ups, turn the zoom ring toward the telephoto end.
•
Be sure to finish zooming before focusing. Zooming after
focusing can affect the focus.
•
Blurring may temporarily occur if the zoom ring is quickly
rotated.
•
Zooming during still image exposure will result in delayed
focus. This causes any streaks of light that are captured
during exposure to be blurred.
