Because the EOS D30 has a smaller sensor area than
that of a 35mm-format camera, the angle of view of all
EF lenses is changed. The effective focal length of all
lenses is increased by a factor of 1.6, eg a 50mm lens
has approximately the same angle of view as an 80mm
lens.
AFstands for autofocus.
MFor Mstands for manual focus.
Be careful not to lose the lens caps or body cap.
