Using the Zoom Ring
Set the composition of the photo (the focal distance of the lens) by rotating the zoom ring on the lens.
When you use the zoom function, focus can be slightly changed. Adjust the focus again before you capture a photo.
Using i-Function
When you press the i-Function button on the lens, you can set the aperture value, exposure value, shutter speed, white balance, or ISO. (See illustration D-a) For more information about i-Function, refer to the camera manual.
Setting the Focus Method
Set the AF/MF switch on the lens to AF or MF. (See illustration D-b) Auto Focus (AF): The focus is adjusted automatically when you half- press [Shutter].
Manual Focus (MF): The focus can be adjusted manually by rotating the focus ring.
Using the Custom Focus Range Limiter Function
You can adjust the focus quickly and precisely by setting the range for the focus distance. Set the Custom Focus Range Limiter switch on the lens to an option. (See illustration D-b)
FULL: The focus is adjusted to between the minimum focus distance and infinity.
CUSTOM: The focus is adjusted within the range you set manually.
If your camera does not allow you to set the focus distance range, the focus is automatically set between 2.4 m-infinity.
SET: You can set the focus distance range manually.

Using the Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) Function
The user can minimize the shaking of camera by using the OIS function. Set the OIS switch on the lens to ON. (See illustration D-b)
Using a Lens Hood (See illustrationE)
To prevent deterioration of image quality by blocking out unnecessary light, use a lens hood. When you are not using the lens hood it can be reverse-mounted on the lens for storage.
When you use a flash in situations where the distance between the subject and the camera is close, the flash light may be partially blocked by the lens or a lens hood. To ensure proper lighting, remove the lens hood or adjust the distance between the camera and subjects.
Using a Tripod
Connecting the tripod to the lens
You can connect the tripod directly to the tripod collar connection on the lens. If you connect the tripod to the camera, the camera and the tripod may be unbalanced and can fall. Ensure that the tripod is connected to the lens.
Depending on the tripod, if you connect the lens to it directly, the zoom ring function may not be available.
Connecting to the tripod mount collar
1 Attach the tripod mount collar to the tripod collar connection on the lens.
2 Rotate the tripod mount collar lock dial in the direction of the LOCK arrow until it locks in place. (See illustration F)
3 Connect the tripod to the tripod connection on the tripod mount collar.
To disconnect the tripod mount collar from the lens, rotate the tripod mount collar lock dial in the opposite direction of the LOCK arrow.
Ensure that you hold the lens and the camera when connecting or disconnecting the tripod mount collar.
Changing the photo′s composition using the tripod mount collar
When you connect the tripod to the tripod mount collar, you can use the tripod ring to quickly and easily change the photo′s composition.
1 Loosen the tripod ring locking dial by rotating it in the opposite direction of the LOCK arrow.
2 Adjust the camera′s position, horizontally and vertically, until you have composed your photo. (See illustration G)
3 Rotate the tripod ring locking dial in the direction of the LOCK arrow to lock it in place. (See illustration H)
Using a Filter (optional)
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.
