When you attach a lens for which you have already registered a value, the registered value appears
on the screen. [±0] appears for lenses for which a value has not yet been registered.
If [−] is displayed as the value, then a total of 30 lenses have been registered and no new lens can be

value to [±0], or reset the values of all the lenses using [Clear].
