• Turn the camera off before attaching or removing the lens to prevent unexpected lens movement.
•When attaching or removing a lens, choose an environment that is relatively free of dirt and dust.
•Keep the body mount cover on the camera when a lens is not attached.
•Be sure to attach the lens mount cover and lens cap to the lens after removing the lens from the camera.
•The camera body and lens mount incorporate lens information contacts and an AF coupler. Dirt, dust, or corrosion may damage the electrical system. When necessary, clean the contacts with a soft dry cloth.
•When lenses described in (b) are used in a position other than s, some functions will be restricted. Refer to “Using the Aperture Ring” (p.299).
•With factory default setting, the camera will not work with lenses other than those listed above and accessories. Set [27. Using Aperture Ring] to [Permitted] in the [ACustom Setting 4] menu to use them. (p.299)
•We assume no responsibility nor liability for accidents, damages and malfunctions resulting from the use of lenses made by other manufacturers.
1 Make sure the camera is turned off.

Be sure to put the lens down with the lens mount side facing upward to protect the lens mount from damage when there is no lens mount cover on the lens.
