GETTING UP AND RUNNING
This section covers the preparation of the camera. This includes the changing of batteries, memory
cards, and lenses as well as the use of external power supplies.
ATTACHING THE CAMERA STRAP
Always keep the camera strap around your neck in
the event that you drop the camera.
Pass the tip of the strap through the camera’s
strap eyelet from below (1). Attach the strap so the
tip comes between the strap and the camera. The
side of the strap with the remote-cord clip (p. 45)
should be attached to the side of the camera with
the remote-control terminal
Align the red mounting index on the lens and camera body.
Carefully insert the lens into the mount, then turn it
clockwise until it clicks into the locked position. Do not
insert the lens at an angle. If it does not fit, check its
orientation with the index marks. Never force the lens.
Press the lens release all the way in and turn the lens
counter-clockwise until it stops. Carefully remove the lens.
This camera uses interchangeable lenses. See page 117 for
compatible lenses. Never touch the inside of the camera,
especially the lens contacts and mirror. Take care not to let
dust enter the body.
Remove the body cap from the camera and the rear cap
from the lens.
ATTACHING A LENS
REMOVING A LENS
Lens release
Replace the caps on the lens and attach the body
cap or another lens to the camera as soon as
possible. Do not leave the interior of the camera
exposed to dust or dirt. Check the body cap is clean
and free from dust before mounting.
Each time the camera is turned on, it automatically
focuses the lens to the infinity position, even in manual
focus. This operation is necessary to ensure proper
exposures.
Camera Notes
Push the holder ring toward the strap eyelet to
secure the strap to the camera (3). Repeat with the
other end of the camera strap.
Thread the tip of the strap through the holder ring
and the inside of the buckle and pull to tighten (2).
Leave some slack in the camera strap so the tip
may be threaded through the buckle easily.
