2. Setting the Focus Mode Focusing ring Focus mode switch To shoot in autofocus (AF) mode, set the focus mode switch to AF. To use only manual focusing (MF), set the focus mode switch to MF, and focus by turning the focusing ring. zzThe lens’ focusing ring is electronic. zzWith a camera capable of electronic full-time manual focus, manual focusing is always possible whenever camera operations are possible. However, this requires a change in camera settings.
3. Zooming zzBe sure to finish zooming before focusing. Zooming after focusing can affect the focus. zzOnce a close-up subject is in focus, zooming may cause the subject to come out of focus. In this instance, move back from the subject and refocus. zzBlurring may temporarily occur if the zoom ring is quickly turned. zzPlease be careful not to let your fingers get caught in between the lens portion that extends and the lens body when zooming. To zoom, turn the zoom ring.
4. Fixing the Zoom Ring The zoom ring can be fixed to keep the lens at the shortest point. This function is convenient for carrying a camera on a strap because it prevents the lens from extending. 1 Turn the zoom ring to the wide end position (100 mm). 2 Slide the zoom ring lock lever in the direction indicated by the arrow. zzTo release the zoom ring, slide the zoom ring lock lever in the direction opposite to the arrow.
5. Control Ring The control ring can be assigned the functions that are commonly used with cameras, such as shutter speed and aperture settings. Control ring The click action of the control ring allows you to have a sense of how much it is being turned. Please refer to the camera’s instructions for details on how to use the control ring. zzThere are cases in which the sound of control ring operations may be recorded when shooting movies.
6. Image Stabilizer Image stabilizer switch Set the image stabilizer switch to ON when you want to use the Image Stabilizer. zz This function provides image stabilization appropriate for shooting conditions (such as shooting still subjects and panning shots). zz The Image Stabilizer will work in combination with cameras with in-body Image Stabilizer. zz Set the image stabilizer switch to OFF when you are not going to use the Image Stabilizer.
Image Stabilizer The Image Stabilizer for this lens is suited to hand-held shots in the following conditions. zz In semi-darkened areas such as indoors or outdoors at night. zz In locations where the flash cannot be used, such as art museums and theater stages. zz In situations where your footing is uncertain. zz In situations where fast shutter speed settings cannot be used. zz Panning shots of vehicles, trains, etc.
