3. Align the red mounting dots on the lens and camera body.

4. Gently insert the lens into the mount, then turn clockwise until it clicks into the locked position.

Do not insert the lens at an angle.

Do not press the lens release when attaching the lens.

Lens Hood Note

Attach a lens hood (page 74) to reduce flare and ensure maximum image quality. Flare reduces the contrast of the final image.

Caution

Do not force the lens if it does not turn smoothly.

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

Remove dust and dirt from the lens mount before attaching or removing a lens.
