lens and add it to the user list.
You can:

• Define a new fixed lens (see 

page 5-35

)

• Define a new zoom lens (see 

page 5-36

)

• Delete a defined lens from the user list (see 

page 5-37

)

• Edit the name of a defined lens (see 

page 5-38

)

Defining New Fixed Lenses

1. Mount the appropriate lens on the camera.

2. Choose Lens Optimization from the Capture menu, choose Setup, then 

choose New Fixed Lens.

3. Focus at infinity, then capture one image. 

4. Press the OK button.

The lens is selected and appears at the top of the user list.

5. Change the strengths for the lens (see 

page 5-40

).
