ZOOMING
Rotate the zoom ring of the lens while viewing through the camera's viewfinder and compose your image at the chosen focal length.
ZOOM LOCK SWITCH
Model A08 is equipped with a zoom lock mechanism that prevents the lens bar- rel from extending towards a longer focal length. This mechanism locks the zoom ring in the 200mm position to prevent the lens from extending while hanging.
1.Locking: Set the zoom ring on the lens to the 200mm position. Move the zoom lock switch toward the camera. The lens barrel is locked in position when the portion beneath "Lock" is red.
2.Releasing: Push the zoom lock switch up. The red indicator is hidden, the zoom lock switch lock is released and the zoom ring can be rotated.
*The zoom lock switch cannot be activated unless the lens is set to 200mm position. Do not force the lock switch or try to rotate the lens barrel while locked. Doing so may cause damage to the lens.
*The zoom lock mechanism is made to prevent the lens barrel from extending while carried around the neck. When not locked in the 200mm position, the lens may change its focal length during a long time exposure when angled in the low or high position.
TRIPOD SOCKET
The A08 come equipped with a socket for using a tripod. Firmly fix the lens tri- pod mount to the tripod attaching screw when using a tripod.
*Changing the vertical and horizontal position of the camera
1.Turn the tripod socket fixing screw in the counterclockwise direction to loosen it.
2.Rotate the camera using the lens as the axis and line up the indicator on the tripod mount mark using the vertical or horizontal indicators.
3.Tighten the tripod socket fixing screw in a clockwise direction and lock the camera into place.
