Preparing the camera
Attaching a lens
Notes
• When attaching a lens, do not press the lens release button.
• Do not use force when attaching a lens.
• E-mount lenses are not compatible with this camera.
• When a DT lens is attached or [APS-C Size Capture] is set to [On] in the Setup
menu, a live view image is displayed in full screen view on the LCD screen with the
angle of view of the APS-C size. The live view image in the viewfinder is also
displayed entirely and you can check the composition or effect using the whole
screen.
1 Remove the body cap from the
camera and the rear lens cap
from the rear of the lens.
• When changing the lens, quickly
change the lens away from dusty
locations so as to keep dust or debris
from getting inside the camera.
• When shooting, remove the front lens
cap from the front of the lens.
