Lens for Digital Single Lens Reflex Camera

Operating Instructions

16mm F2.8 Fisheye

SAL16F28

Notes on use

•Do not leave the lens in direct sunlight. If sunlight is focused onto a nearby object, it may cause a fire. If circumstances necessitate leaving the lens in direct sunlight, be sure to attach the lens cap.

•Be careful not to subject the lens to mechanical shock while attaching it.

•Always place the lens caps on the lens when storing.

•Do not keep the lens in a very humid place for a long period of time to prevent mold.

•Do not hold the camera by the lens part extended for focusing, etc.

•Do not touch the lens contacts. If dirt, etc., gets on the lens contacts, it may interfere or prevent the sending and receiving of signals between the lens and the camera, resulting in operational malfunction.

Precautions for flash use

Due to the lens’ wide angle of view, edges of pictures will tend to be dark in combination with a flash. Countermeasures, such as using bounce flash with an external flash is recommended.

Vignetting

When you use lens, the corners of the screen become darker than the center. To reduce this phenomena (called vignetting), close the aperture by 1 to 2 stops.

Condensation

If your lens is brought directly from a cold place to a warm place, condensation may appear on the lens. To avoid this, place the lens in a plastic bag or something similar. When the air temperature inside the bag reaches the surrounding temperature, take the lens out.

Cleaning the lens

•Do not touch the surface of the lens directly.

•If the lens gets dirty, brush off dust with a lens blower and wipe with a soft, clean cloth (Cleaning Cloth KK-CA (optional) is recommended).

•Do not use any organic solvent, such as thinner or benzine, to clean the lens or the camera cone.

Focusing

When using the auto focus, the camera focuses the lens automatically.

When focusing manually, set your camera to the manual focus and rotate the focusing ring while looking through the viewfinder. The focus signal in the viewfinder indicates the current condition of the focus.

Note

This lens is a wide angle type. Make sure the shoulder-strap, your fingers, etc., are not in the frame when a picture is taken.

Depth-of-field scale

When focus is set on a subject, anything at that same distance will appear sharp, and anything within a certain range before and beyond the subject will also appear in focus; this is called depth of field. Depth of field depends on the subject distance and aperture you choose and is indicated by the lines on the depth-of-field scale corresponding to the aperture.

•The depth-of-field scale and depth-of-field table are for 35mm-format cameras. The depth-of-field is shallower when you use Digital Single Lens Reflex Cameras equipped with an APS-C sized image sensor.

This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.
