MOUNTING / REMOVING LENS (Fig. 2)
Mounting
After removing the rear lens cap, align the lens mount index mark with that of the camera
body (on Canon/Minolta/Pentax models) and rotate the lens clockwise until it click-locks.
For the Nikon model, align the lens mount index mark with the dot on the camera and
rotate counter-clockwise until it click-locks.
Removal
Push in and hold the lens release button on the camera body while rotating the lens count-
er-clockwise (clockwise in case of Nikon model) and lift the lens off the camera body.
* Refer to the instruction manual of your camera for additional information.
FOCUSING (Fig. 2 and 3)

MF) to change the focusing mode between autofocus (AF) and manual focus (MF).
Minolta and Pentax models: Move the focusing ring forward (to AF) and backward (to MF)
and at the same time, set the AF/MF selector switch of the camera body to the coinciding

Mount
AF/MF Switching Operation
Nikon AF-D
Move focusing ring only.
Minolta
Move and switch both focusing ring and
selector of camera body.
Canon
Move focusing ring only.
Pentax
Move and switch both focusing ring and
selector of camera body.
* Carefully read "Autofocus" and "Manual focus" sections below and operate the camera and
lens accordingly. In addition, please refer to the instructions related to focusing operations
of your camera.
AUTOFOCUS (AF)
The camera focuses automatically in the AF mode, provided both focusing ring of the lens
and the AF/MF selector switch of the camera body are set to the autofocus mode (AF). The
focusing ring does not rotate when set in the AF mode since the coupling mechanism of
the focusing ring is disconnected from the autofocus mechanism. Therefore, the focus ring
itself will rotate freely when manually turned, but will have no effect on focus adjustment.
