Remove the camera body cap
and the rear lens cap as
shown.
Align the red bead on the lens
with the red dot on the camera's
lens mount.
Gently insert the lens into the
mount and turn it clockwise
until it clicks into the locked
position.
REMOVING THE LENS
Attach the body cap or another lens to the camera and
replace the rear lens cap.
• This will protect the camera interior, lens contacts, and lens elements.
• Do not force the lens onto the body if it does not turn smoothly.
• Do not touch the inside of the camera, especially the lens contacts and
mirror.
• Touching or lifting the mirror may impair the mirror's alignment or
scratch it. Dust on the mirror will not affect meter readings or picture
quality. If it is distracting, have the camera cleaned at an authorized
Minolta Service Facility.
• Remove dust, dirt, and moisture from the lens mount before attaching
or removing the lens.
• The use of a lens hood is recommended to reduce flare and ensure
maximum image quality when the flash will not be used.
While pressing the lens
release, turn the lens
counterclockwise until it stops.
Gently remove the lens from
the mount.
