1. Mounting and Detaching the Lens

Please mount and detach the lens only with the camera turned OFF. Refer to your camera's instructions for details on mounting and detaching the lens.

Detaching the Lens

After detaching the lens, place the lens with the rear end up to prevent the lens surface and contacts from getting scratched.

• Contacts that are scratched, soiled, or have fingerprints on them may result in faulty connections or corrosion, which may lead to malfunctions. If the contacts get soiled, clean them with a soft cloth.
• Attach the lens cap and dust cap when disconnecting the lens. When attaching the dust cap, align the lens mount index with the 'O' index of the dust cap and rotate in a clockwise direction. Follow the reverse procedure to detach it.

2. Manual Focus

When the camera's focus mode is set to [MF], focus manually by turning the focusing ring.

⚠️ Quickly rotating the focusing ring may result in delayed focus.

? Focus mode is set using the camera. Please refer to the camera's instructions.

After autofocusing in [AF+MF] mode, focus manually by pressing the shutter button halfway and turning the focusing ring (full-time manual focusing).

3. Switching the Focusing Distance Range

You can set the focusing distance range with a switch. By setting a suitable focusing distance range, the actual autofocusing time will be shorter.

Ranges

• 1. FULL (0.23 m/0.76 ft. - ∞)
• 2. 0.5 m/1.64 ft. - ∞

4. Filters (Sold Separately)

You can attach filters to the filter mounting thread on the front (43mm) of the lens.

⚠️ Only one filter may be attached.

5. Hood (Sold Separately)

The ES-60 hood cuts out unwanted light and protects the front of the lens from rain, snow, and dust.

Attaching the Hood

Align the red attachment position mark on the hood with the red dot on the front of the lens, and then rotate the hood in the direction of the arrow until you hear a click.

Removing the Hood

Keep your finger pressed down on the button located on the side of the hood, and then rotate the hood in the direction of the arrow until the attachment position mark on the hood is aligned with the red dot on the front of the lens to detach it. The hood can be reverse-mounted on the lens for storage.

⚠️ If the hood is not attached properly, vignetting (darkening of the perimeter of the picture) may occur.

Grasp and rotate the base of the hood when attaching and detaching it. There are cases in which it may become deformed if the hood is rotated with it grasped near to the rim.

If the lens is attached to the camera with the hood reverse-mounted, remove the hood before removing the lens from the camera.
