For Nikon models, align the lens mount index line with the dot on the camera. Rotate the lens clockwise until it click-locks (counter-clockwise in case of Nikon body). (For details, please refer to the instruction manual of your camera.)

Push in and hold the lens release button on the camera body while rotating the lens counter-clockwise (clockwise in case of Nikon body.)

FOCUSING
Automatic Focusing (for Nikon/Minolta/Pentax AF SLR)
When the camera is on the autofocus mode, the lens focuses automatically. During AF (Auto Focus) operation, the focusing ring will rotate and its movement should not be hindered.

Automatic Focusing (for Canon-EOS AF SLR)
Set the AF/MF Switch on the lens to “AF” mode. Pressing the shutter release button of the camera will activate the auto-focusing function of the camera. During AF operation, the focusing ring will rotate and its movement should not be hindered.

Manual Focusing
When the lens is used on a Nikon/Minolta/Pentax AF camera, switch the camera to the manual focus mode. When the lens is on a Canon EOS camera, set the lens AF/MF Switch to the “MF” mode. Turn the focusing ring while looking through the viewfinder.The correct focus position is determined when the picture in the viewfinder becomes sharpest. In manual-focus photography, focusing should always be checked through the viewfinder even when shooting at infinity.
