Cautions
To maintain your safety and prevent damage to the lens, please fully familiarize yourself with the following:

• Do not look directly at the sun through the lens as it may seriously impair your vision.
• Do not apply excessive force when attaching the lens to the camera as it may cause damage to the lens or your camera.
• The lens is a precision optical product, so dropping or excessive impact may cause product failure.
• Attach or detach the lens only while the camera is turned off.
• Be careful not to touch or contaminate the gold contacts on the mount as it can adversely affect communication with the camera.
• Protect the lens from water, high humidity, and excessive heat.
• Always store the lens with the lens cap on in a dry and well-ventilated location out of direct sunlight. Direct sunlight passing through the lens could become concentrated enough to cause a fire.
• Avoid subjecting the lens to drastic temperature changes such as moving from a very cold outdoors location to a warm indoors
  location. This can cause moisture in the air to condense inside or on the outside of the lens and lead to failure or mold production. Before taking the lens indoors from a cold outdoors location, put the lens in a plastic bag or sealed camera bag and remove it only when the lens has warmed up to room temperature.

Focusing Nikon interchangeable cameras offer various methods of focusing.
For detailed information regarding the available focus mode settings for your particular model, refer to the instruction manual of your camera.

• Set the AF/MF switch to “AF” for autofocus operation.

• For manual focus operation set the switch to “M”. Manual Focus allows you instead of the camera to adjust the focus by rotating the manual focus ring on the lens. Manual focus can be an easier method than autofocus when shooting portraits where you want to precisely keep the focus on the subject’s eyes.

Mounting a Filter

The lens is equipped with a non-rotating filter to mount on the front of the lens that accepts 77mm size filters.
– Only one filter typically should be mounted at one time.
– If two or more filters are mounted at the same time, vignetting may occur.

Lens Hood

The supplied hood is designed specifically for the Rokinon AF 85mm F1.4 lens for optimum effectiveness. It should be used at all times to help prevent contrast reducing fire, provide better contrast, and for
added protection.

• To mount the hood, align the white index mark (dot) of the hood with the white hood index mark (dot) of the lens and rotate the hood clockwise until you hear and feel it click in place.
• To remove the hood, grasp it firmly and turn counterclockwise.
