ATTACHING AND REMOVING THE LENS
* How to mount the lens
Remove the rear cap of the lens. Align the lens attachment mark on the lens barrel
with its counterpart on the camera mount and insert the lens. Rotate the lens clock-
wise until it click-locks. For Nikon and Pentax models, align the lens attachment mark
on the camera and the zoom index on the lens to attach the lens.
* How to detach the lens
Pressing the lens release button on the camera down, turn the lens counter-clockwise
(in case of Nikon, clockwise), and lift the lens off the camera's lens mount.
**The image circles of Di II lenses are designed to match the digital SLR cameras
using the image sensors equivalent to APS-C (approx. 15.5 x 23.2mm). Do not use Di II
lenses with cameras using image sensors larger than APS-C. Using Di II lenses with
such cameras may cause vignetting on the image.
FOCUSING (AUTOFOCUS)
Switch the camera or lens to AF mode. Press the shutter button lightly while viewing
through the camera's viewfinder, the lens focuses automatically. An in-focus mark will
light when lens focuses on the main subject sharply. Press the shutter button further
to photograph.
* When set on AF mode, interfering with the focusing ring may cause serious damage
to the lens mechanism.
* Select between the autofocus and manual focus modes by using the AF/MF switch
on the camera in case of Nikon, Konica Minolta, or Pentax lens.The lens for Canon
cameras has the AF/MF switch on the lens.
FOCUSING (MANUAL FOCUS)
Switch the focusing mode switch of the camera to manual focusing mode (MF) in
case if Nikon, Konica Minolta, or Pentax. In case of Canon camera, switch the AF/MF
switch on the lens to MF. Focus by manually rotating the focusing ring while viewing
through the camera's viewfinder. The main subject in the viewfinder will be sharp
when the lens is focused correctly.
* Even when in MF mode, turning the focusing ring while pressing the shutter button
halfway, the focus aid function lamp lights up when the picture is in focus.
* At infinity, make sure the image in the viewfinder appears sharp.The infinity posi-
tion on the lens is made with certain allowances to insure proper focus under a vari-
ety of conditions.
