Adjusting the lens flange
If the subject is not focused properly in the telephoto and
wide-angle modes during zoom operations, adjust the flange
back (distance from the lens mounting surface to the image-
forming surface).
Once this adjustment is done, it need not be redone unless
the lens is replaced.
<Note>
For details on the adjustment method and lens positions,
refer also to the operating instructions that accompany the
lens.

Attach the lens to the camera.
At this stage, do not forget to connect the lens cable.
