When
using
the
auto
focus, the
camera
focuses
the
lens
automatically.
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
degree
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.
• For Lens model DT 18-200mm F3.5-6.3, the focusing ring rotates the opposite
way than the other DT Zoom lenses.

To attach
the
lens
(See

m-[1].)
DT 18-70mm F3.5-5.6:
Fit the hood into the mount on the end of the lens barrel and
rotate the hood clockwise until it clicks.
DT
11-18mm F4.5-5.6, DT 18-200mm F3.5-6.3:
Align the red lines on the lens hood and the lens. Turn the hood
clockwise until the red line on the lens meets the red dot on the
hood and it clicks into place.
• When using a built-in camera flash, make sure to remove the lens hood to avoid
blockage
of
the flash light.
• If a marking (red line, red dot, etc.)
is
provided, attach the lens hood properly.
Otherwise, the lens hood may interfere with the desired effect or may appear
in
pictures.
• When storing, turn over the lens hood and place
it
onto the lens backwards.

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.
• After attaching the lens, do not carry the camera by holding the lens.
• 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.
Precautions
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
1m
(3.3
feet) away from your subject.
• The built-in flash cannot
be
used with DT 11-18mm F4.5-5.6. Use a separately
sold flash.
Vignetting
• When you use lens, the comers
of
the screen become darker than the center. To
reduce this phenomena (called vignetting), close the aperture by I to 2 stops.
• With certain
of
lens/filter combinations, the frame
of
the filter may block the
incident radiation. This may significantly lower the light intensity when shooting
with
the
aperture wide open (low f-stop). Take test photographs at different
aperture settings for best results. (DT
ll-18mm
F4.5-5.6 only)
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.

The values for equivalent 35mm-format focal length and angle
of
view are based on Digital Single Lens Reflex Cameras equipped with an APS-C sized image sensor.
.,
Minimum focus is the shortest distance from the image sensor to the subject.
• This lens
is
equipped with a distance encoder. The distance encoder allows more accurate measurement (ADO by using a flash for AD!.
• 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.
