INSTALLATION ON CAMERA
Installation
After removing the rear lens cap from the lens, align the mount positioning point on the lens with
that on the camera, and rotate the lens clockwise (counterclockwise when using Nikon model)
until you hear a click, which indicates the lens being securely locked in place.
There is no mount-positioning index marking on the lens to fit Nikon. Please align the
aperture/zoom index line on the lens with the mount-positioning index point on the camera
(same as AF Nikkor lenses) accordingly.
Detaching
While pressing the lens release button on the camera, turn the lens counterclockwise (clockwise
when using Nikon model.)
* Be careful not to touch the signal terminals of the lens during installation or removal. A stained
or damaged terminal may cause poor contact and malfunction.
FOCUSING [1]
Automatic Focusing
When the camera is used in the auto focus mode, the lens focuses automatically.During the AF
(Auto Focus) operation, the focusing ring will rotate and its movement should not be hindered. For
this reason, we recommend using the focusing ring cover.To use, pull it out to its fullest extent.
Manual Focusing
Switch the camera to the manual focus mode and turn the focusing ring to focus while looking
through the viewfinder.The correct focus position is determined when the picture in the viewfind-
er becomes sharp. If the focusing ring is rotated while pressing the shutter release button halfway
down, the focus indicator in the viewfinder will light up when the subject comes in focus. In manu-
al photography, focusing should always be checked through the viewfinder even when shooting
at infinity.
How to use the AF Range Selector (Model 60E for Minolta) [2]
When the Selector ring is turned clockwise (viewing from the mount side), the AF operation range
is set from 2.5m to the selected distance, while it is set from the selected position to infinity when
turned counter-clockwise.
Rotate the focusing ring to align the distance scale to the focus distance index line where you
would like to set a limit in AF operation range. Loosen the AF Range Selector ring fixing screw and
turn the Selector ring until it comes to a mechanical stop (please be sure to hold the focusing ring,
avoiding its simultaneous movement with the Selector ring.)
Tighten the AF Range Selector ring fixing screw after the above procedures are completed. For
your information, the AF Range Selector is set to the infinity range when shipped from our factory.
