The user can minimize the shaking of camera by using the OIS function. 

Set the OIS switch on the lens to 

ON. (See illustration

To prevent deterioration of image quality by blocking out unnecessary 

light, use a lens hood. When you are not using the lens hood it can be 

reverse-mounted on the lens for storage.

When you use a flash in situations where the distance 

between the subject and the camera is close, the flash light 

may be partially blocked by the lens or a lens hood. To ensure 

proper lighting, remove the lens hood or adjust the distance 

between the camera and subjects.

You can connect the tripod directly to the tripod collar connection on 

the lens. If you connect the tripod to the camera, the camera and 

the tripod may be unbalanced and can fall. Ensure that the tripod is 

connected to the lens.

Depending on the tripod, if you connect the lens to it directly, 

the zoom ring function may not be available.

Attach the tripod mount collar to the tripod collar connection 

on the lens.

Rotate the tripod mount collar lock dial in the direction of the 

LOCK arrow until it locks in place. (See illustration 

)

Connect the tripod to the tripod connection on the tripod 

mount collar.

To disconnect the tripod mount collar from the lens, rotate the tripod 

mount collar lock dial in the opposite direction of the LOCK arrow.

Ensure that you hold the lens and the camera when 

connecting or disconnecting the tripod mount collar.

When you connect the tripod to the tripod mount collar, you can use 

the tripod ring to quickly and easily change the photo′s composition.

Loosen the tripod ring locking dial by rotating it in the opposite 

direction of the LOCK arrow.

Adjust the camera′s position, horizontally and vertically, until 

you have composed your photo. (See illustration 

)

Rotate the tripod ring locking dial in the direction of the LOCK 

arrow to lock it in place. (See illustration 

)

Before putting a filter on the lens, make sure it is compatible.  

Refer to "Specifications" for compatible filter size. 

• A filter is a precise optical product. Keep away from dust, dirt, 

or scratches. Also, do not try to mount two or more filters at the 

same time. Doing so may deteriorate the image quality and cause 

vignetting (a reduction of an image′s brightness or saturation at 

the periphery as the viewing angle of the lens is hidden).

• In case of a thick framed filter, the vignetting can occur with a 

wide-angle lens.

Please read the following safety tips carefully for proper and safe use.

• Do not stare at the sun through the lens or camera.  

This may cause severe damage to your eyes.

• Keep your lens or camera away from small children and pets.

• Do not store the lens in direct sunlight without the lens cap. 

Direct sunlight that passes through the lens may combust if 

it comes into contact with flammable materials.

• Use only sturdy tripods. Lightweight or unstable tripods may 

fall over and damage the camera. 

• Store the lens in dry and well ventilated areas.

• Do not store the lens in areas of high temperature or humidity or in a 

closet, car, or confined area where chemicals are stored.

• Do not expose the lens to water.

• Avoid removing or changing the lens in dusty areas.

• The lens is not water or dust proof. Exposure to severe conditions is not 

recommended.

• Do not use chemicals such as thinner, alcohol, or benzene to remove dust.

• Do not drop the lens or apply excessive shock to it. The lens is a 

precise optical product.

• Avoid using the lens anywhere there is a sudden temperature 

change. Keep the lens in a plastic bag or a camera case to prevent 

condensation from forming on the inside or outside of the lens.

• When carrying or not using the lens, place the lens cap and lens mount 

cover on the lens to prevent contamination from foreign particles and 

protect the lens from scratches.

• Do not keep the camera or the lens mounted on a tripod without the 

lens cap. The inside of the camera or the lens can be damaged by 

direct sunlight.

• Check the lens once every year or two for best performance.

• Do not apply excessive force to the front of the lens.

• For safe use of the lens, mount or dismount the lens while the camera 

is turned off.

• Samsung is not responsible for any damage incurred by using other 

manufacturers’ lenses.

• Make sure to change lenses only in a clean environment and do not 

put your fingers into the lens mount when mounting the lens. Foreign 

particles may affect shooting results or cause a malfunction if they enter 

the camera body or the lens.

• Do not hold the camera body when the lens is attached. Doing so may 

cause damage to the camera or the lens mount. Ensure that you hold 

the lens and the camera when you are carrying the equipment.

• To reduce the amount of dust or moisture that can enter the lens, the lens 

mount is fitted with a rubber seal. If the seal is damaged or worn, contact 

a Samsung service center to have it replaced (charges may apply). The 

rubber seal and the surfaces it contacts may experience wear and tear. 

This should not affect your camera′s lifespan or performance.

• When using a tripod, position the tripod to avoid contact between the 

lens and the tripod.
