FOCUSING (Autofocus)
Set the camera on the autofocus mode (AF). Press the shutter button lightly while
viewing through the cameras viewfinder, the lens focuses automatically. An in-focus
mark will light when lens focuses on the main subject sharply. Press the shutter but-
ton further to photograph.
*
When set on AF mode, be very careful not to hinder the autofocusing movements of
the lens. Such interference may cause serious damage on the lens mechanism.
*
Select between the autofocus and manual focus modes by the AF/MF switch on the
camera in case of Nikon, Minolta, or Pentax lens. The lens for Canon cameras has an
AF/MF mode selector switch on the lens barrel.

For further details, please read the instruction manual that came with your camera.
FOCUSING (Manual Focus)
*
Switch the focusing mode switch of the camera to manual focusing mode (MF) in
case of Nikon, Minolta or Pentax camera and in case of Canon, switch to MF on the
AF-MF altering switch on the lens barrel. Focus by manually rotating the focusing ring
while viewing through the camera's viewfinder. The main subject image in the
viewfinder will be critically sharp on the viewfinder screen as the lens focuses
correctly.
*
Press the shutter button lightly while operating the lens for focusing. The focus aid
mark in the viewfinder will light up when the subject is in critical focus.
*
Make sure the subject at infinity appears sharp in the finder when in focus. You
should do this for the reason that the infinity position on the lens is made to assure
correct focus under a wide variety of photographing conditions.

For further details, please read the instruction manual of your camera.

The minimum photographing distance of the A061 is constant at 0.49 m throughout
