* Length and maximum diameter indicate the values for the lens with the Nikon mount. * Specifications and design are subject to change without notice. MOUNTING/REMOVING THE LENS Mounting After removing the rear cap, place the lens in the camera mount aligning the lens mount index line with that of the camera body (Canon/Minolta/Pentax). 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).
ZOOMING To set your lens to the desired image composition you desire, simply look through the viewfinder and operate the zoom ring. APERTURE CONTROL & AE SETTING Canon / Minolta Your camera controls the aperture depending on the shooting mode in use. Although the aperture value varies in accordance with zooming, the camera itself reads out the change to provide automatic compensation.

PRECAUTIONS IN SHOOTING (con’t) Certain camera models may indicate the maximum and minimum aperture values of the lens in approximate numbers. This is inherent to the design of the camera and not an indication of error. Do not use the lens hood when you shoot with your camera's built-in flash. Even without the lens hood, an arched-shape shadow may be observed at the bottom portion of the picture when using the built-in flash.
