FOCUSING (Manual Focus)
Nikon and Canon models
1.Simply move the focusing ring backward to the MF position.
2.Rotate the focusing ring manually while looking through the viewfinder until the image in the finder comes into sharp focus.
Minolta models
1.Switch the AF/MF selector switch on the camera body to MF mode, then slide the focus- ing ring backward to the MF position.
2.Rotate the focusing ring manually while looking through the viewfinder until the image in the finder comes into sharp focus.
*Before rotation of the focusing ring, make sure that the camera is set to the MF mode. Manual rotation of the focusing ring when the camera is till set in AF mode will cause mechanical damage to the lens and/or to the camera body.
*When using the lens on Nikon
*When the focusing ring is set to the AF position, the focusing ring rotates freely and you cannot adjust focus.
*If you use the lens in the manual focus mode on an autofocus camera, rotate the focusing ring while holding the shutter release button depressed
*Because B01 uses an internal focus mechanism, the lens does not extend (grow longer out of the front of the camera) even during macro photography. This prevents large loss of balance during focusing.
*The focusing ring rotates beyond the infinity position in order to properly focus to infinity under a variety of environmental conditions. When manually focusing, make sure the subject at infinity is sharp in the viewfinder.
