1. Mounting and Detaching the Lens See your cameras instructions for details on mounting and detaching the lens.
After detaching the lens, place the lens with the rear end up to prevent the lens surface and contacts from getting scratched. (fig.)
Contacts that are scratched, soiled, or have fingerprints on them may result in faulty connections or corrosion, which may lead to malfunctions. If the contacts get soiled, clean them with a soft cloth.
Attach the lens cap and dust cap when disconnecting the lens. When attaching the dust cap, align the lens mount index with the k index of the dust cap and rotate in a clockwise direction as shown in the illustration. (fig.) Follow the reverse procedure to detach it.
2. Zooming Turn the lens zoom ring to adjust the size of the photo field or subject. (fig.) For wide shots, turn the zoom ring toward the wide end. For close-ups, turn the zoom ring toward the telephoto end.
Be sure to finish zooming before focusing. Zooming after focusing can affect the focus.
Blurring may temporarily occur if the zoom ring is quickly rotated.
Zooming during still image exposure will result in delayed focus. This causes any streaks of light that are captured during exposure to be blurred.
