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.
