Fujifilm XC35mmF2 User Manual

1. Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the Fujifilm XC35mmF2 lens. This manual provides detailed instructions on how to use, maintain, and troubleshoot your new lens. Please read this manual thoroughly before using the product to ensure correct and safe operation.

The Fujifilm XC35mmF2 is a compact and lightweight prime lens designed for Fujifilm X-series cameras, offering a versatile 35mm focal length (52.5mm equivalent in 35mm format) and a fast F2 aperture.

2. Key Features

• High Resolution Performance: Edge-to-edge sharpness from the center to the corners of the frame is achieved by the precise arrangement of nine lens elements in six groups. This lens also includes two aspherical elements, which serve to suppress the image degrading effects of chromatic aberration and field curvature imperfection.
• Compact and Lightweight: Weighing just 4.59 oz (130g) and measuring 1.83in (46.5mm) in length, this new prime lens is a great companion for any X Series Body and is also a great option for beginning photographers looking to step away from their kit lenses to make their first prime lens purchase.
• Fast and Quiet Autofocus: The inner focusing AF system uses a stepping motor to move focusing elements into place through precise electrical pulses. This helps the lens achieve focus quickly and accurately with near-silent operation.

5. Operating the Lens

5.1 Autofocus Operation

The XC35mmF2 features a fast and quiet autofocus system. Once attached to a compatible Fujifilm X-series camera, the lens will automatically focus when the camera's autofocus mode is engaged. Refer to your camera's manual for specific autofocus settings and modes.

5.2 Manual Focus Operation

To use manual focus, set your camera's focus mode to MF (Manual Focus). Rotate the focus ring on the lens barrel to adjust the focus. Your camera's focus assist features (e.g., focus peaking, digital split image) can aid in achieving precise manual focus.

6. Care and Maintenance

• Cleaning the Lens: Use a soft, lint-free cloth specifically designed for optical surfaces to clean the lens elements. For stubborn smudges, use a small amount of lens cleaning fluid applied to the cloth, not directly to the lens. Use a blower brush to remove dust before wiping.
• Storage: When not in use, always attach the front and rear lens caps. Store the lens in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Consider using a desiccant packet in your camera bag to prevent mold and fungus growth, especially in humid environments.
• Handling: Avoid dropping or subjecting the lens to strong impacts. Do not attempt to disassemble the lens, as this will void the warranty and may cause irreparable damage.
