 For details, please read the instruction manual of your camera.

To shoot using autofocus (AF), set the AF/MF switch 

⑯

 to “AF”.

To shoot using manual focus (MF), set the AF/MF switch 

⑯

 to “MF”, and then use your hand to 

turn the focus ring



 Through the full-time manual mechanism, when focusing with AF, it is possible to switch to MF by turning 

the focus ring while the AF/MF switch is set to AF. AF can be resumed by releasing your finger from the 
shutter button and then repressing the shutter button halfway.



 To ensure focus under various conditions, the focus ring 

⑪

 rotates past the infinity (∞) position. 

Accordingly, always check the focus in the viewfinder when shooting with manual focus, even when the 
focus is aligned with infinity.



 For details, please read the instruction manual of your camera.

The VC (Vibration Compensation) mechanism reduces image blur caused by hand-held shooting.

 How to use VC

When you use VC, set the VC switch 

⑮

 to ON.

Press the shutter button halfway and confirm that the viewfinder image is stable before taking 
a picture.

A bayonet-type lens hood is provided as standard equipment.
We recommend shooting with the hood properly attached because the lens hood eliminates stray 
light that may affect the picture.





 Make sure to perform zooming operation before focusing. It may be out of focus, if you perform 

zooming operation after focusing.



 An internal focusing (IF) system is employed to achieve the minimum focus distance. Because of 

this, the shooting range is wider than that of lenses using other focusing systems when shooting 
at a distance less than infinity.



 Always remove the hood when you use the built-in flash on the camera for flash photography. 

Otherwise, the hood or lens may darken the perimeter of the image. With close-up photography, 
the lens itself blocks the flash, and dark semicircle may appear at the bottom of the screen, even 
when the lens hood is not used. For flash photography, we recommend that you use an external 
flash unit provided by the camera manufacturer.



 Differences in the display systems of cameras may result in the display of values different from 

the maximum and minimum aperture values in the specifications. This is not an indication of an 
error.



 Use with mirrorless interchangeable-lens cameras is not guaranteed.



 Remove dust and soiling on the lens by using a blower or soft brush. Do not touch the lens with 

your fingers.



 When fingerprints or oil have adhered to the lens, lightly wipe with commercially available lens 

cleaning paper, soak a well-washed cotton cloth, or microfiber cloth (cleaning cloth for glasses, 
etc.) in lens cleaner, and then lightly wipe the lens surface starting from the center. Do not use a 
silicone cloth.



 Clean the lens barrel using a silicone cloth. Never use benzene, thinner, or other organic 

solvents.



The front element has been coated to prevent water and oily substances from adhering. This 
coating will repel liquids such as lens cleaners. To clean the lens, we recommend at the end to 
wipe it with a dry cloth.



 Mildew is a major problem for lenses. Store your lens in a clean, cool, and dry place. When you 

store the lens in a lens case, store it with a commercially available drying agent and replace the 
drying agent occasionally.



 Do not touch the lens-camera interface contacts. If dust or stains cause contact problems, 

signals are not transmitted properly between the lens and camera, and malfunctions may occur.



 If the temperature changes suddenly, moisture may form within the camera and lens and cause 

malfunctions.

  To prevent this, seal your equipment in a plastic bag or similar container. After your equipment 

has adjusted to the ambient temperature, remove it from the bag and use it as usual.
