ZOOMING
Rotate the zoom ring of the lens while viewing through the camera's viewfinder
and compose your image at the chosen focal length.
ZOOM LOCK SWITCH
Model A08 is equipped with a zoom lock mechanism that prevents the lens bar-
rel from extending towards a longer focal length.This mechanism locks the
zoom ring in the 200mm position to prevent the lens from extending while
hanging.
1. Locking: Set the zoom ring on the lens to the 200mm position. Move the
zoom lock switch toward the camera. The lens barrel is locked in position when
the portion beneath "Lock" is red.
2. Releasing: Push the zoom lock switch up.The red indicator is hidden, the
zoom lock switch lock is released and the zoom ring can be rotated.
* The zoom lock switch cannot be activated unless the lens is set to 200mm
position. Do not force the lock switch or try to rotate the lens barrel while
locked. Doing so may cause damage to the lens.
* The zoom lock mechanism is made to prevent the lens barrel from extending
while carried around the neck. When not locked in the 200mm position, the lens
may change its focal length during a long time exposure when angled in the
low or high position.

pod mount to the tripod attaching screw when using a tripod.
