Attaching / Removing Lenses
Attaching Lenses | Attaching the Lens |
Before attaching a lens to the camera body, the mirror in the body must be set in the down position and the shutter of the lens cocked.
Setting the Mirror
1.Remove the Body Cap from the camera.
2.Make sure the mirror is set (lowered). If the mirror is in the up position, lower it by pushing the Cocking Lever as far as it will go toward the front of the camera body.
Cocking the Lens Shutter
1.Remove the Rear Lens Cap by rotating the bayonet ring clockwise.
2.If the lens shutter is not cocked, firmly ro- tate the Shutter Cocking Pins as far as they will go to the red dot “A”.
•Moving the Shutter Cocking Pins only as far as the green dot will result in incomplete shutter cocking. Be sure to rotate them as far as the red dot.
•Whenever a lens is removed from the camera body, it is already cocked.
1.With the front of the lens facing you, ro- tate the Bayonet Ring counterclockwise as far as it will go (the white dot on the Bayonet Ring will be aligned with the central index on the lens mount).
2.Seat the lens on the camera body with the red index line on the lens mount facing the red alignment dot of the camera body. Next, rotate the Bayonet Ring of the lens firmly in a clockwise direction, securing the lens to the camera body.
