After

removing

the

rear

lens

and

body

caps,

hold

the

camera

firmly

in

your

left

hand

and

align

the

red

dot

on

the

camera

body

with

the

red

dot

0

on

the

lens.

Insert

the

lens

into

the

body

chamber

until

it

seats

against

the

lens

mount

and

turn

it

clockwise

until

it

locks

into

place

with

an

audible

click.

In

dim

l

ight

situations

where

it

becomes

difficult

to

see

the

red

dots,

align

the

raised

white

node

O

on

the

lens

barrel

with

the

lens

release

()

by

touch

and

continue

mounting

the

lens

as

de-

scribed.

When

mounting

longer

lenses

such

as

telephoto

or

zoom

focal

lengths,

it's

a

good

idea

to

rest

the

camera

body

in

the

palm

of

the

left

hand.

This

procedure

provides

a

better

balance

and

more

convenient

handl

ing

during

the

mounting

operation.

WHEN

CHANGING

LENSES

OUTDOORS

WITH

FILM

IN

ERA,

TAKE

THE

ADDED

PRECAUTION

OF

AVOIDING

DIRECT

SUNLIGHT.

IMPORTANT:

If

necessary

to

put

ment
