Note
• When recording on the wide-angle side and using the
flash, the periphery of the screen may darken. In such
cases, we recommend using the external flash.
• If you zoom after focusing, focusing errors may occur.
After zooming, please perform the focusing again.
• In very quiet situations Auto Focus operating sounds
may be recorded during motion picture recording. This is
not a malfunction. In such situations, switching to
Manual Focus will improve the situation.
• If you set the O.I.S. to [ON] when recording a motion
picture, operating sounds may be recorded. If they
become bothersome, we recommend setting the O.I.S.
switch to [OFF] and mounting the camera on a tripod.

Attaching/Detaching the Lens

For information on how to attach and remove the lens,
refer to the operating instructions for your digital camera.
• Before attaching or detaching the lens, check that
the digital camera is turned off.
• Before attaching the lens to the digital camera, remove
the lens rear cap A by rotating it in the direction of the
arrow. (See illustration
• To prevent dust and other particles from accumulating on
or entering the lens, be sure to attach the lens cap/lens
rear cap after detaching the lens from the digital camera.

Attaching Filters
• Vignetting may occur if using 2 or more filters at the same time.
• It is possible to attach the lens cap with the filter already
attached.
• When using the lens hood and a filter at the same time,
attach the filter first.
• You cannot attach a conversion lens or adaptor to this
lens. A filter may be used, but attaching any other
element may cause damage to the lens.

not to put a lot of pressure on the lens.
• Take care not to drop the bag that you inserted the lens
