Precautions • When shifting and/or tilting, handle the lens with care since its edges will be exposed. • Do not disassemble, repair or modify the lens. • When the lens is not in use, make sure to attach the lens cap or place the lens in a shaded area away from direct sunlight. Mounting/Detaching Lens * This lens is not an AF (autofocus) lens. When this lens is used with an AF camera, set the focus mode to M (manual) on the camera body. Manual focus with electronic rangefinder is possible. • When mounting the lens after it has been shifted, be careful not to pinch your fingers between the lens and the camera body. Mounting Lens 1 2 E 1. Set the shift amount and tilt amount to 0 by rotating the shift and tilt knobs. 2. Turn the camera power off, align the mounting indexes on the lens and camera and then twist the lens counterclockwise until it locks into place. (Do not push the lens release button.) Detaching Lens 21 1. Set the shift and tilt to 0 by rotating the shift and tilt knobs. 2. Turn the camera power off, push and hold the lens release button, then turn the lens clockwise. 17 Aperture This lens operates via a preset aperture method. With this method, you must first set the aperture value via the aperture ring. Then, just prior to shooting, you must stop down the lens to the preset aperture using the aperture stop-down button. With this lens, the maximum aperture can be switched to a selected aperture via mechanical push-button operation. The selected aperture is then held until the button is pushed again. Note that even at maximum aperture, the preset aperture value is displayed on the camera body. Maximum aperture Stop-down aperture Focusing 1 2 3 1. Set the shift and tilt amount to 0 by rotating the shift and tilt knobs. 2. If the aperture is set to stop-down aperture, set the aperture to its maximum by pressing the aperture stop-down button. 3. Focus by rotating the focusing ring. • Camera’s in-focus indicator • does not appear properly in the viewfinder when manual focus with electronic rangefinder is performed while shifting or tilting. Focus using the focusing screen’s clear matte field. However, when shifting or tilting is not performed, focus can be confirmed using the in-focus indicator •. • When you shift or tilt after focus is achieved, refocus using the focusing screen’s clear matte field. • To confirm the depth of field at set aperture, refer to the depth of field scale on the lens barrel or see “Depth of Field and Other Data for Shooting” on pages 84-85. However, when shooting at close distance, correct depth of field...
