Zooming in or out
Set the focal length for the photo you are composing by pressing the zoom button on the lens. (See illustration F)
•If you set the Auto Focus (AF) mode on your camera, the focus ring operates as a zoom ring. You can also set the focus length by rotating the focus ring on the lens. (See illustration D)
•When you use the zoom function, the focus may change slightly. Adjust the focus again before you capture a photo.
•You can set the zoom speed for the lens’ Power Zoom button to fast, medium, or slow. To set the zoom speed, use the Lens Button Speed Settings menu on your camera. At fast speed, noise from the lens increases and can be recorded in videos. Refer to your camera manual for more details.
•To use the Lens Button Speed Settings feature properly, you must keep the camera’s firmware up-to-date. This feature may not be supported by some camera models.
Using a Filter (optional) (See illustration G)
Before putting a filter on the lens, make sure it is compatible. Refer to "Specifications" for compatible filter size.
•A filter is a precise optical product. Keep away from
dust, dirt, or scratches. Also, do not try to mount two or more filters at the same time. Doing so may deteriorate the image quality and cause vignetting (a reduction of an image’s brightness or saturation at the periphery as the viewing angle of the lens is hidden).
•In case of a thick framed filter, the vignetting can occur with a wide-angle lens.
