CAUTION You are cautioned that any changes or modifications not expressly approved in this manual could void your authority to operate this equipment. NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: - Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. - Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. - Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. - Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. For the customers in Canada This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003. Notes on use • Do not leave the lens in direct sunlight. If sunlight is focused onto a nearby object, it may cause a fire. If circumstances necessitate leaving the lens in direct sunlight, be sure to attach the lens cap. • Be careful not to subject the lens to mechanical shock while attaching it. • Always place the lens caps on the lens when storing. • Do not keep the lens in a very humid place for a long period of time to prevent mold. • Hold both the camera and lens, when you carry the camera with the lens attached. • Do not hold the camera by the lens part extended for focusing, etc. • Do not touch the lens contacts. If dirt, etc., gets on the lens contacts, it may interfere or prevent the sending and receiving of signals between the lens and the camera, resulting in operational malfunction. Precaution for flash use With certain of lens/flash combinations, the lens may partially block the light of the flash, resulting in a shadow at the bottom of the picture. When using a built-in camera flash, make sure to remove the lens hood and shoot from at least 1 m (3.3 feet) away from your subject. Vignetting When you use lens, the corners of the screen become darker than the center. To reduce this phenomena (called vignetting), close the aperture by 1 to 2 stops. Condensation If your lens is brought directly from a cold place to a warm place, condensation may appear on the lens. To avoid this, place the lens in a plastic bag or something similar. When the air temperature inside the bag reaches the surrounding temperature, take the lens out. Cleaning the lens • Do not touch the surface of the lens directly. • If the lens gets dirty, brush off dust with a lens blower and wipe with a soft, clean cloth (Cleaning Cloth KK-CA (optional) is recommended). • Do not use any organic solvent, such as thinner or benzine, to clean the lens or the camera cone.

When you attach/detach the lens cap with the lens hood attached, use method (2). 2 Align the orange index on the lens barrel with the orange index on the camera (mounting index), then insert the lens into the camera mount and rotate it clockwise until it locks. • Do not press the lens release button on the camera when mounting the lens. • Do not mount the lens at an angle. To remove the lens (See illustration -.) While pressing and holding the lens release button on the camera, rotate the lens counterclockwise until it stops, then detach the lens. Attaching lens hood It is recommended that you use a lens hood to reduce flare and ensure maximum image quality. Fit the lens hood into the mount on the end of the lens barrel and rotate the lens hood clockwise until it clicks. • When using a built-in camera flash, make sure to remove the lens hood to avoid blockage of the flash light. • When storing, turn over the lens hood and place it onto the lens backwards. Focusing When using the auto focus, the camera focuses the lens automatically. • Even when the auto focus is set, the focusing ring may rotate if you move it unintentionally. Only rotate the focusing ring manually when the camera is set to the direct manual focus, otherwise a malfunction may result. When focusing manually, set your camera to the manual focus and rotate the focusing ring while looking through the viewfinder. The focus signal in the viewfinder indicates the current condition of the focus. • The focusing ring can be rotated slightly past the infinity to provide accurate focusing under various operating temperatures. Do not rotate the focusing ring all the way to the end when focusing manually even at infinity. Look through the viewfinder and set the focus precisely. (Sonnar T 135mm F1.8 ZA only) Focus-hold button (See illustration -.) While the focus-hold button is pressed, auto focus function is suspended and the focus is fixed for shooting. • The function of the focus-hold button can be changed on cameras with custom function capability. Refer to the camera manuals for details. Depth-of-field scale When focus is set on a subject, anything at that same distance will appear sharp, and anything within a certain range before and beyond the subject will also appear in focus; this is called depth of field. Depth of field depends on the subject distance and aperture you choose and is indicated by the lines on the depth-of-field scale corresponding to the aperture. • The depth-of-field scale is for 35mm-format cameras. The depth-of-field is shallower when you use Digital Single Lens Reflex Cameras equipped with an APS-C sized image sensor.

The distance encoder allows more accurate measurement (ADI) by using a flash for ADI. • Depending on the lens mechanism, the focal length may change with any change of the shooting distance. The focal length assumes the lens is focused at infinity.
