Pentax SF1 - Attaching and Removing Lenses

ATTACHING AND REMOVING LENSES
Read this section even if the lens is already mounted on the camera.
• Remove the body-mount cap and the rear lens cap.
The Body-Mount Cap F and the Lens-Mount Cap K are available as options.
1. /^gn the red dot on the camera with the red dot on the lens (see ® and
® ), place the lens onto the camera's lens mount, and turn it clockwise
until the lens locks with a click. When mounting the lens by touch under
dim light, method ® is recommended.
2. To remove the lens cap, press in the tabs on both sides.
3. To remove the lens, turn it counterclockwise while pressing the lens
release lever toward the camera body.
• Attach the front and rear lens caps on the detached lens to protect it from
dust and scratches. The lens should be set down with the front lens side down
as illustrated.
• If a Pentax-A or -M lens is mounted directly onto the camera, it can be used
only in the manual-focus mode (page 34). It can also be used as an auto-focus
lens in combination with the AF Adapter 1.7X (optional).
• Old Screw-mount Takumar lenses can be used with the Mount Adapter K
(optional). However, focusing must be made using the viewfinder's matte area.
Do not damage or stain the lens information contacts or the AF coupler on
the mount surfaces of the camera and the lens. If this occurs, wipe them
gently with a clean dry cloth.
