To set the aperture ring to another setting, hold down the Aperture A-lock button and turn the aperture ring. * If your camera has a K mount with no lens information contacts, set the aperture ring to any aperture except A. 16 About the Zoom Lens Aperture Zoom lenses whose maximum aperture varies depending on the focal length have a [Minimum length] aperture index for the shortest focal length and a [Maximum length] aperture index for the longest focal length. To set the aperture to A [Auto], turn the aperture ring to the white [Short focal length index] at the center (regardless of the focal length) as shown in the illustration. For the longer focal lengths, if you want to set an aperture other than A, align the aperture ring with the long focal length's aperture. For example, with a 28-105mm zoom lens set to 105mm, set the f/8 aperture by aligning the aperture ring's f/8 to the [Long focal length aperture index] mark on the left of the white index. * When setting the aperture manually at a middle focal length, use the aperture index for the short and long focal lengths as a reference. 17 Apertures and Click Stops Certain lenses have a white dot next to the maximum aperture. For example, as shown on the right, the white dot next to f/2 indicates f/2. 8. If there is no white dot for a click stop between the f/numbers, the click stop indicates the respective f/number shown below. Also, certain lenses have no intermediate click stop at both ends of the aperture scale due to a lack of space. Do not set the aperture ring to a position where there is no click stop. 1. 4 1. 2 1. 7 2 2. 4 2. 8 3. 4 4 4. 8 5. 6 6. 7 8 9. 5 11 13. 5 16 19 22 26 32 38 45 18 Using the Infrared Index 15 8 ft 10 3 2 m 22 16 8 50 22 16 8 15 8 ft 10 3 2 1 m 50 16 11 8 5. 6 4 2. 8 2 1. 4 A 22 16 11 8 5. 6 4 2. 8 2 1. 4 A 22 If you use infrared film with an R2 or O2 filter, the point of focus differs from normal shooting (with visible light). * Infrared film cannot be used with camthe MZ-S, MZ-60, and eras since these cameras use infrared light to detect film transport operations. When the subject is in focus in the viewfinder, note the point of focus on the distance scale (shown in the left illustration). Then turn the focusing ring so the respective point of focus on the distance scale is aligned with the infrared index mark, as shown in the right illustration. * Before turning the focusing ring, set the focus mode to manual focus. [. . . ] To find out whether the lens is suit's built-in flash, see the able with the camera's instruction manual. The lens hood may obstruct the built-in flash. 31 Compatibility with Built-in Flash FA and FA J lenses other than the following can be used with the built-in flash with no problems.
