Attaching A Lens - Sony Alpha DSLR-A850 Instruction Manual

Attaching a lens

1
Remove the body cap from the camera and the rear cap from
the lens.
2
Mount the lens by aligning the
orange index marks on the lens
and camera.
3
Turn the lens clockwise until it
clicks into the locked position.
• When attaching a lens, do not press the
lens release button.
• Be sure to put the lens on straight.
Notes
• The shutter is not released if the lens is not attached, except when the mode dial is
set to M (page 53).
• Using a DT lens is not guaranteed because the corners of the field are darkened and
the camera does not meet the primary AE performance standard.
To remove the lens
1
Press the lens release button all
the way in and turn the lens
counterclockwise until it stops.
• When changing the lens, quickly
change the lens away from dusty
locations so as to keep dust from
getting inside the camera.
