1. Mounting and Detaching the Lens See your camera’s instructions for details on mounting and detaching the lens. ¡After detaching the lens, place the lens with the rear end up to prevent the lens surface and electrical contacts from getting scratched. ¡If the contacts get soiled, scratched, or have fingerprints on them, corrosion or faulty connections can result. The camera and lens may not operate properly. ¡If the contacts get soiled or have fingerprints on them, clean them with a soft cloth.
2. Setting the Focus Mode 3. Zooming 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. The focusing ring always works, regardless of the focus mode. C To zoom, turn the lens’ zoom ring. Y P O Be sure to finish zooming before focusing. Changing the zoom ring after focusing can affect the focus.
4. Image Stabilizer You can use the image stabilizer in AF or MF mode. the STABILIZER 1 Set switch to . ¡If you are not going to use the image stabilizer function, set the switch to .

5. Infinity Compensation Mark 6. Infrared Index Infinity compensation mark Distance index To compensate for shifting of the infinity focus point that results from changes in temperature. The infinity position at normal temperature is the point at which the vertical line of the L mark is aligned with the distance indicator on the distance scale. C For accurate manual focusing on subjects at infinity distance, look through the viewfinder while rotating the focusing ring.
7. Hood The EW-83H hood can keep unwanted light out of the lens, and also protects the lens from rain, snow, and dust. Y P O To attach the hood, align the hood’s attachment position mark with the red dot on the front of the lens, then turn the hood as shown by the arrow until the lens' red dot is aligned with the hood's stop position mark.
