1. Switch the AF/MF selector switch on the camera body to MF mode, then slide the focus-
ing ring backward to the MF position.
2. Rotate the focusing ring manually while looking through the viewfinder until the image
in the finder comes into sharp focus.
* Before rotation of the focusing ring, make sure that the camera is set to the MF
mode. Manual rotation of the focusing ring when the camera is till set in AF mode will
cause mechanical damage to the lens and/or to the camera body.
* When using the lens on Nikon F-501 (N2020), please use the switches both on
camera body and the lens in order o select MF or AF.
* When the focusing ring is set to the AF position, the focusing ring rotates freely and
you cannot adjust focus.
* If you use the lens in the manual focus mode on an autofocus camera, rotate the
focusing ring while holding the shutter release button depressed half-way. The focus confir-
mation indicator will light when subject comes into focus.
* Because B01 uses an internal focus mechanism, the lens does not extend (grow
longer out of the front of the camera) even during macro photography. This prevents large
loss of balance during focusing.
* The focusing ring rotates beyond the infinity position in order to properly focus to
infinity under a variety of environmental conditions. When manually focusing, make sure
the subject at infinity is sharp in the viewfinder.
