Condensation

If your lens is brought directly from a cold place to a warm place,
condensation may appear on the lens. To avoid this, place the lens in a plastic
bag or something similar. When the air temperature inside the bag reaches
the surrounding temperature, take the lens out.

Cleaning the lens

• Do not touch the surface of the lens directly.

• If the lens gets dirty, brush off dust with a lens blower and wipe with a soft,

clean cloth (Cleaning Cloth KK-CA (optional) is recommended).

• Do not use any organic solvent, such as thinner or benzine, to clean the lens or

the camera cone.

Attaching/detaching the lens

To attach the lens (See illustration

.)

1

Remove the rear and front lens caps and the camera body

cap.

• You can attach/detach the front lens cap in two ways, (1) and (2). When you

attach/detach the lens cap with the lens hood attached, use method (2).

2

Align the orange index on the lens barrel with the orange

index on the camera (mounting index), then insert the lens
into the camera mount and rotate it clockwise until it locks.

• Do not press the lens release button on the camera when mounting the lens.

• Do not mount the lens at an angle.

To remove the lens (See illustration

.)

While pressing and holding the lens release button on the
camera, rotate the lens counterclockwise until it stops, then
detach the lens.

Attaching lens hood

It is recommended that you use a lens hood to reduce fl are and ensure
maximum image quality.

Fit the lens hood into the mount on the end of the lens barrel and
rotate the lens hood clockwise until it clicks.

• When using a built-in camera fl ash, make sure to remove the lens hood to avoid

blockage of the fl ash light.

• When storing, turn over the lens hood and place it onto the lens backwards.

Focusing

When using the auto focus, the camera focuses the lens automatically.

• Even when the auto focus is set, the focusing ring may rotate if you move it

unintentionally. Only rotate the focusing ring manually when the camera is set to
the direct manual focus, otherwise a malfunction may result.

When focusing manually, set your camera to the manual focus and rotate the
focusing ring while looking through the viewfi nder. The focus signal in the
viewfi nder indicates the current condition of the focus.

• The focusing ring can be rotated slightly past the infi nity to provide accurate

focusing under various operating temperatures. Do not rotate the focusing ring
all the way to the end when focusing manually even at infi nity. Look through the
viewfi nder and set the focus precisely. (Sonnar T 135mm F1.8 ZA only)

Focus-hold button (See illustration

.)

While the focus-hold button is pressed, auto focus function is suspended and
the focus is fi xed for shooting.

• The function of the focus-hold button can be changed on cameras with custom

function capability. Refer to the camera manuals for details.

Depth-of-fi eld scale

When focus is set on a subject, anything at that same distance will appear
sharp, and anything within a certain range before and beyond the subject will
also appear in focus; this is called depth of fi eld. Depth of fi eld depends on
the subject distance and aperture you choose and is indicated by the lines on
the depth-of-fi eld scale corresponding to the aperture.

• The depth-of-fi eld scale is for 35mm-format cameras. The depth-of-fi eld is

shallower when you use Digital Single Lens Refl ex Cameras equipped with an
APS-C sized image sensor.

The value for equivalent 35mm-format focal length is based on Digital Single Lens Refl ex Cameras equipped with an APS-C sized image sensor.

*

2

The value of angle of view 1 is based on 35mm-format cameras, and that of angle of view 2 is based on Digital Single Lens Refl ex Cameras equipped with an APS-C sized

image sensor.

*

3

Minimum 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 fl ash for ADI.

• Depending on the lens mechanism, the focal length may change with any change of the shooting distance. The focal length assumes the lens is focused at infi nity.

Notes on use

• Do not leave the lens in direct sunlight. If sunlight is focused onto a nearby

object, it may cause a fi re. If circumstances necessitate leaving the lens in direct
sunlight, be sure to attach the lens cap.

• Be careful not to subject the lens to mechanical shock while attaching it.

• Always place the lens caps on the lens when storing.

• Do not keep the lens in a very humid place for a long period of time to prevent

mold.

• Hold both the camera and lens, when you carry the camera with the lens

attached.

• Do not hold the camera by the lens part extended for focusing, etc.

• Do not touch the lens contacts. If dirt, etc., gets on the lens contacts, it may

interfere or prevent the sending and receiving of signals between the lens and the
camera, resulting in operational malfunction.

Precaution for fl ash use

With certain of lens/fl ash combinations, the lens may partially block the light
of the fl ash, resulting in a shadow at the bottom of the picture. When using a
built-in camera fl ash, make sure to remove the lens hood and shoot from at
least 1 m (3.3 feet) away from your subject.

Vignetting

When you use lens, the corners of the screen become darker than the center.
To reduce this phenomena (called vignetting), close the aperture by 1 to 2
stops.
