Lens
*1The values for equ ivalent 35mm-format focal length and angle of view are based
on Interchangeable Lens Digital Camera equipped with an APS-C sized image
sensor.
*2Minimum focus is the shortest distance from the image sensor to the subject.
•This lens is equipped with a distance encoder. The distance encoder allows more
accurate measurement (ADI) by using a flash for ADI.
•Depending on the l ens mechanism, the focal length may change with any change of
the shooting distance. The focal length assumes the lens is focused at infinity.
•The infinity p osition provides for some adjustment to compensate for focus shift
caused by change in temperature. To shoot a subject at infinite distance in MF mode,
use the viewfinder and set focus.

Design and specifications are subject to change without notice.
