Product Care

• When using a lens hood, do not pick up or hold the camera using only the hood.
• Keep the lens signal contacts clean.
• Use a blower to remove dust and lint from the glass surfaces of the lens or filter. To remove smudges and fingerprints, apply a small amount of lens cleaner to a soft, clean cotton cloth or lens-cleaning tissue and clean from the center outwards using a circular motion, taking care not to leave smears or touch the glass with your fingers.
• Never use organic solvents such as paint thinner or benzene to clean the lens.
• Attach the front and rear caps when the lens is not in use.
• Store the lens and filter in cool, dry locations to prevent mold and rust. Do not store in direct sunlight or with naphtha or camphor moth balls.
• Keep the lens dry. Rusting can cause irreparable damage. Wipe off rain and water droplets.
• Leaving the lens in extremely hot locations could cause damage or warping.

Attaching the Lens
See the camera manual for information on attaching and removing lenses.

• This lens is for use exclusively with FUJIFILM G mounts and can not be used with X mounts.
• Before attaching or removing the lens, set the tilt and shift amounts to 0 and return the rotation mechanism and the T/S rotation mechanism to the locked positions.

Removing the Caps
Remove the caps as shown.

Attaching the Hood

Attaching the Hood (GF30mmF5.6 T/S only)

When attached, lens hoods reduce glare and protect the front lens element.

1. Remove the front ring from the lens.
2. Attach the adapter ring to the lens (1), then attach the lens hood to the adapter ring (2).

• When attaching the lens hood or filter, be sure to use the adapter ring.
• If you attach a lens hood or filter too tightly after attaching an adapter ring to the lens, it may remain stuck to the adapter ring when the adapter ring is removed. Do not attempt to forcibly separate the lens hood or filter from the adapter ring, as the filter threads could injure your hands. Cover both the lens hood or filter and the adapter ring with silicone jar openers or the like and unscrew them using the palms of your hands.

Attaching the Tripod Collar Foot

Attaching the Tripod Collar Foot (GF30mmF5.6 T/S only)

1. Align the lock knob with the ring index (1), then pull the lock knob toward you (2) to open the ring (3).

2. Align the ring with the tripod collar foot mounting groove.
   Align the tripod collar reference index with the center of the orientation index or the tilt scale according to the camera orientation.

3. Turn the lock knob to secure the ring.

Aperture
See the camera manual.

Tilt

The optical axis of the lens can be tilted. By tilting the optical axis of the lens relative to the imaging surface, you can tilt the focus plane and change the focus range.

Procedure

1. Press the tilt lock switch in the direction of the arrow (1), then loosen the tilt dial lock (2).
2. Turn the tilt dial to adjust the tilt amount.
3. Sharp parts may be exposed. Do not touch any sharp parts when they are exposed.
4. Turn the focus ring to focus on the subject.
   • This lens cannot be focused using autofocus.
5. Turn the tilt dial lock in the direction of the arrow to secure it.
   • To fix the tilt amount at the 0 position, align the tilt lock switch to the LOCK position and then turn the tilt dial lock.

Shift

The optical axis of the lens can be moved parallel to the optical axis of the lens while keeping the optical axis straight, allowing the shooting range to be moved up, down, left, or right.

Procedure

1. Turn the shift dial lock in the direction of the arrow to loosen it.
2. Turn the shift dial to adjust the shift amount.
   • Sharp parts may be exposed. Do not touch any sharp parts when they are exposed.
   • When turning the shift dial, check the surroundings of the shift mechanism beforehand to ensure that your fingers do not get caught between the shift mechanism and the camera grip or other components.
   • Large shift amounts may produce variations in lighting at the edges of the frame.
   • Compatible cameras show the shift amount in the monitor. The shift amount is also included in the EXIF data embedded in pictures as they are taken. See the camera manual for details.
3. Turn the focus ring to focus on the subject.
   • This lens cannot be focused using autofocus.
4. Turn the shift dial lock in the direction of the arrow to secure it.

Rotation

The tilt/shift mechanism can be rotated to change the tilt and shift direction.

Procedure
Press the rotation lock release button in the direction of the arrow (1) and then turn the tilt/shift mechanism (2).

• Before performing a rotation operation, set the tilt and shift amounts to 0.
• If you turn the tilt/shift mechanism suddenly while holding down the rotation lock release button, you may hit your finger and injure yourself, so please be careful.
• Do not perform tilt/shift operations and rotation operations at the same time. Your fingers may get caught, causing injury.
• The rotation range is ±90°.
• The rotation mechanism locks at 0° and ±90°. In addition, a click can be felt every 30°. We recommend shooting at these angles to avoid changing orientation while shooting.
• Compatible cameras show the rotation amount in the monitor. The rotation amount is also included in the EXIF data embedded in pictures as they are taken. See the camera manual for details.

T/S Rotation

The tilt mechanism can be rotated to change the operating direction of the tilt and shift from orthogonal to the same direction.

Procedure
Press the T/S rotation lock release button in the direction of the arrow (1), and then turn the tilt mechanism (2).

• Before performing a T/S rotation operation, set the tilt and shift amounts to 0.
• If you turn the tilt mechanism suddenly while holding down the T/S rotation lock release button, you may hit your finger and injure yourself, so please be careful.
• Do not perform tilt/shift operations and T/S rotation operations at the same time. Your fingers may get caught, causing injury.
• The rotation range is 0–90°.
• The T/S rotation mechanism locks at 0° and 90°. In addition, a click can be felt at the 45° position. We recommend shooting at these angles to avoid changing orientation while shooting.

Setting Tilt and Shift to the Same Direction

When the tilt direction is rotated 90° to match the shift direction, vignetting will occur in the vertical (1), horizontal (2), and diagonal (3) directions on the display in the gray range indicated in the table below, depending on the tilt and shift amounts.

• Improvements may result in unannounced changes to specifications and appearance.
• Owing to how this lens is constructed, the “Distance indicator” displayed by the camera may in some cases differ from the actual focus distance. Use the “Distance indicator” as a guide only.
• Do not use a teleconverter.
• The following may occur when performing tilt or shift operations.
  • Autoexposure may produce results that differ from the optimal value.
  • The camera’s image stabilization function may not work as intended. Turn off image stabilization before shooting.
  • The camera may not be able to detect the distance to the subject. For this reason, some camera functions may not work as intended.
  • Depending on the shooting conditions, color irregularities may occur in the captured image, and the image quality of the EVF or LCD display may deteriorate.
  • When shooting with an electronic front curtain shutter, uneven exposure may occur in the captured image. Shooting with a mechanical shutter is recommended.
