ATTACHING AND REMOVING THE LENS

ATTACHING THE LENS

Remove the camera body cap and the rear lens cap as shown.

REMOVING THE LENS

While pressing the lens release, turn the lens counterclockwise until it stops.

Gently remove the lens from the mount.

Attach the body cap or another lens to the camera and replace the rear lens cap.

• This will protect the camera interior, lens contacts, and lens elements.

Align the red bead on the lens with the red dot on the camera's lens mount.

Gently insert the lens into the

mount and turn it clockwise until it clicks into the locked position.

•Do not press the lens-release button while attaching the lens. The lens will turn past its mark and will not work.

•Do not force the lens onto the body if it does not turn smoothly.

•Do not touch the inside of the camera, especially the lens contacts and mirror.

•Touching or lifting the mirror may impair the mirror's alignment or scratch it. Dust on the mirror will not affect meter readings or picture quality. If it is distracting, have the camera cleaned at an authorized Minolta Service Facility.

•Remove dust, dirt, and moisture from the lens mount before attaching or removing the lens.

•The use of a lens hood is recommended to reduce flare and ensure maximum image quality when the flash will not be used.
