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
condition
of
the focus.
Depth-of-field scale (50mm F1.4)
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.
Ii
Focusing
To remove
the
lens (See

into the camera mount and rotate it clockwise until it locks.
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.
To attach the lens (See
illustration
m-ITJ.)
1 Remove the rear and front lens caps and the camera body
cap.
•
You
can attach/detach the front lens cap
in
two ways,
(I)
and (2). When you
attach/detach the lens cap with the lens hood attached, use method (2).

• 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 slOring, tum over the lens hood and place
it
onlO
the lens backwards.
Rotate the zooming ring to the desired focal length.
75-300mm F4.5-5.6, 50mm F1.4:
Fit the hood into the mount on the end of the lens barrel and
rotate the hood clockwise until it clicks.
24-105mm F3.5-4.5:
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.
It is
recommended
that you use a lens
hood
to reduce flare
and
ensure
maximum
image
quality.

documentation
Designs
and specifications are
subject
to
change
without
notice.
• This lens
is
equipped with a distance encoder. The distance encoder allows more accurate measurement (ADI)
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.
Specifications
Condensation
[f
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.
•
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.
•
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
lenslflash 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.
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, which may significantly lower the light intensity. Take lest
photographs
at
different aperture sellings for best results. (24-1 05mm F3.5-4.5
