Image Quality - Sony SLT-A58 Instruction Manual

Notes
• When attaching a lens, do not press the lens release button.
• Do not use force when attaching a lens.
• E-mount lenses are not compatible with this camera.
• When using a lens equipped with a tripod socket, attach the socket on the lens side to
the tripod to maintain balance.
• When carrying the camera with a lens attached, hold both the camera and the lens
firmly.
• Do not hold the part of the lens that is extended for zoom or focus adjustments.
To attach a lens hood
It is recommended that you use a lens
hood to reduce flare and ensure optimum

image quality.

Fit the hood into the mount on the end of
the lens barrel and rotate the hood
clockwise until it clicks.
Notes
• A lens hood is not supplied with the DT 18-55mm F3.5-5.6 SAM II. You can use the
ALC-SH108 (sold separately).
• The lens hood may block the light of the flash. Remove the lens hood when using the
flash.
• When storing, turn over the lens hood and place it onto the lens backwards.
Note on changing the lens
When changing the lens, if dust or debris gets inside the camera and
adheres to the surface of the image sensor (the part that converts light to
electric signal), it may appear as dark spots on the image, depending on the
shooting environment.
The image sensor is equipped with an anti-dust function to prevent dust
from landing on the image sensor. However, attach or remove the lens
quickly somewhere away from dusty locations.
