Note
• If you zoom after focusing, focusing errors may occur.
After zooming, please perform the focusing again.
• In very quiet situations Auto Focus operating sounds may
be recorded during motion picture recording. This is not a
malfunction. In such situations, switching to Manual Focus
will improve the situation.
• If you set the O.I.S. to [ON] when recording a motion
picture, operating sounds may be recorded. If they
become bothersome, we recommend setting the O.I.S.
switch to [OFF] and mounting the camera on a tripod.
Attaching/Detaching the Lens
For information on how to attach and remove the lens,
refer to the operating instructions for your digital
camera.
• Before attaching or detaching the lens, check that the
digital camera is turned off.
• Before attaching the lens to the digital camera, remove the
lens rear cap. ( 1 , 2 )

Attaching Filters
• Vignetting may occur if using 2 or more filters at the same
time.
• It is possible to attach the lens cap or the supplied lens
hood with the filter already attached.
• You cannot attach a conversion lens or adaptor to this
lens. A filter may be used, but attaching any other element
may cause damage to the lens.
Using the Lens Hoods
The lens comes with a built-in slide lens hood and supplied
lens hood. With the latter, you can block extra light even
more effectively.
• The built-in slide lens hood and supplied lens hood can be
used together at the same time.
• To use the built-in slide lens
hood, slide it in the direction of
the arrow.
We recommend locking the
zoom ring with the zoom lock
ring before performing
operations.
