ATTACHING LENS TO CAMERA

How to mount the lens

Removing the rear cap of the lens, align the lens attachment mark on the lens barrel with its counterpart on the lens mount of the camera and insert the lens mount into camera's mount opening. Rotate the lens clockwise until it click-locks. For Nikon models, align the lens attachment mark with the dot on the camera and rotate the lens counter-clockwise until it click-locks.

How to detach the lens

Pressing the lens release button of the camera down, turn the lens counter-clockwise (in case of Nikon lens, clockwise), and lift the lens off the camera's lens mount.

FOCUSING (Autofocus) (Ref. Figs. 1 & 2)

Set the camera on the autofocus mode (AF). 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 main subject sharply. Press the shutter button further to photograph. * Also, please read the camera's instruction booklet carefully.

When set on AF mode, be very careful not to hinder the autofocusing movements of the lens. Such interference may cause a serious damage to the lens mechanism.

Select between the autofocus and manual focus modes by the AF/MF switch on the camera in case of Nikon, Minolta, and Pentax. The lens for Canon cameras has an AF/MF mode selector switch on the lens barrel.

* For further details, please read the instruction manual of your camera.

FOCUSING (Manual Focus) (Ref. Fig. 2)

Switch the focusing mode switch of the camera to manual focusing mode (MF) in case of Nikon, Minolta or Pentax camera and in case of Canon, switch to MF on the AF-MF altering switch on the lens barrel. Focus manually rotating the focusing ring while viewing through the camera's viewfinder. The main subject image in the viewfinder will be critically sharp on the viewfinder screen as lens focuses correctly.

Press the shutter button lightly while operating the lens for focusing. The focus aid mark in the viewfinder will light up when the subject is in a critical focus.

Make sure the subject at infinity appears sharp in the finder when you focus, because the infinity position on the lens is made with certain allowance to assure right focus under a wide variety o photographing conditions.

*For further details, please read the instruction manual of your camera.

*The minimum photographing distance of the Model A06 is constant at 0.49 m throughout the entire zooming range. There is, therefore, no minimum distance scale on the lens barrel.
