It is only necessary to perform this when the lens is attached for the first time or when focusing is not correct in both the telephoto and wide-angle positions. Adjust the viewfinder for sharpness first.

It is easier to adjust back focus when the subject is more than 3 meters from the camera.

The optimal subject for this adjustment is a Siemens star chart.

1. Set the IRIS mode switch to M (Manual).

2. Set the zoom mode to MANU (Manual).

3. Open the iris ring. If the illumination is too strong, reduce it or move to a darker place.

4. Turn the zoom lever until the lens is at the maximum telephoto position.

5. Bring the subject into focus.

6. Set the lens to maximum wide-angle.

7. Loosen the back focus ring retaining knob.

8. View the same subject and adjust the back focus ring for the best possible focus.
