Adjusting the lens flange
If the subject is not focused properly in the telephoto and
wide-angle modes during zoom operations, adjust the flange
back (distance from the lens mounting surface to the image-
forming surface).
Once this adjustment is done, it need not be redone unless
the lens is replaced.
<Note>
For details on the adjustment method and lens positions, refer
also to the operating instructions that accompany the lens.
