Notes on Use
-
Do not leave the lens exposed to the sun or a bright light source. Internal malfunction of the camera body and lens, smoke, or a fire may result due to the effect of light focusing. If circumstances necessitate leaving the lens in sunlight, be sure to attach the lens caps. When shooting against the sun, keep the sun completely out of the angle of view.
-
If the lens alone is shaken or if a camera with the lens attached is shaken while the camera is turned off, an internal component of the lens may rattle. This, however, does not indicate a malfunction.
In addition, while you carry around the lens, your movement may cause the internal lens groups to shake. This, however, does not affect the performance of the lens groups. -
When carrying a camera with the lens attached, always firmly hold both the camera and the lens.
-
Using this unit with products from other manufacturers may affect its performance, leading to accidents or malfunction.
-
When recording movies, zoom operation sound may be recorded depending on the camera or shooting conditions. Perform zoom speed setting and lever operation as required.
Precautions on using a flash
- With certain combinations of lens and flash, the lens may partially block the light of the flash, resulting in a shadow at the bottom of the picture. In such a case, adjust the focal length or the shooting distance before shooting.
Vignetting
- When using the lens, the corners of the screen become darker than the center. To reduce this phenomena (called vignetting), close the aperture by 1 to 2 stops.
Identifying the Parts
- Lens hood
- Lens hood index
- Focusing ring
- Zooming ring
- Lens mount rubber ring
- Lens contacts*
- Zoom lever
- Focus hold button

Attaching and Detaching the Lens
- Before attaching/detaching the lens, hold the lens by its mounting body. Do not hold it by any of its operation controls, such as the focusing ring.
To attach the lens
(See illustration B–1.)
-
Remove the rear lens cap and the camera body cap.
-
Align the white index on the lens barrel with the white index on the camera (mounting index), then insert the lens into the camera mount and rotate it clockwise until it locks.
• Do not press the lens release button on the camera when mounting the lens.
• Do not mount the lens at an angle. -
Remove the front lens cap.
• You can attach/detach the front lens cap in two ways, (1) and (2).
To detach the lens
- Attach the front lens cap.
- While holding down the lens release button on the camera, rotate the lens counterclockwise until it stops, then detach the lens. (See illustration B–2.)
Attaching the Lens Hood
It is recommended that you use a lens hood to reduce flare and ensure maximum
image quality.
Align the red line on the lens hood with the red line on the lens (lens hood
index), then insert the lens hood into the lens mount and rotate it clockwise
until it clicks into place and the red dot on the lens hood is aligned with
the red line on the lens.
- If the lens hood is not rotated until it clicks into place, there is a possibility that a shadow appears on captured images or the lens hood falls off.
- If the flash light is partially blocked by the lens hood, a shadow may appear at the bottom of captured images. In such a case, remove the lens hood.
- When storing, fit the lens hood onto the lens backwards.
Zooming
Zooming with the zoom lever
Slide the lever slightly to zoom slowly and slide it fully to zoom quickly.
-
Move the zoom lever with your finger lightly on the lever, to prevent wrong operation.

Rotate the zooming ring to the desired focal length (zoom position). -
We recommend using the zoom lever for muting operation noise of the zooming ring while recording movies.
