Preparing the Lens
As much as possible, attach and remove the lens quickly and in a clean environment free of dust. Refer also to
the instruction manual of the lens used.
IMPORTANT
• Avoid direct sunlight or strong light sources. Also, be careful not to drop the camera or lens.
• Make sure to turn off the camera before this operation.
NOTES
• After removing a lens or when a lens is not attached to the camera:
- Do not touch the lens’s surfaces, the lens mount or any components inside the lens mount area.
- Place the body cap back on the lens mount and the dust caps back on the lens. Clean any dust or dirt
from the body cap and dust caps before using them.
Attaching an EF Lens
1 Turn off the camera.
• The camera does not have a power switch. To turn the
camera on or off, connect or disconnect the power
cable.
2 Turn the lens mount handle clockwise until it stops.
3 Remove the body cap from the camera and any dust
caps from the lens.
4 Align the lens and mount making sure that the index
marks are aligned.
• EF lenses: Align the red mark on the lens with the red
EF Lens mount index mark on the camera.
• EF-S lenses: Align the white mark on the lens with the
white EF-S Lens mount index mark on the camera.
5 After the lens is attached to the camera, without
turning the lens, turn the lens mount handle counter-
clockwise until it is tightened firmly.
IMPORTANT
• When using a zoom lens
- Zoom position may be changed depending on the
installation circumstances. Fix it by applying tape on
the zoom ring as illustrated. (Be careful not to fix the
focus ring. If you do so, focusing will be unavailable.)
- Use tape which is less likely to peel off and has less
adhesive residue, such as plastic film tape.
Apply tape on the zoom ring full circle to fix.
