Focusing, zooming, and depth of field
Before focusing, rotate the zoom ring 5 to adjust the
focal length until the desired composition is framed in
the viewfinder.
If your camera has a depth of field preview (stop-down)
button or lever, depth of field can be previewed
through the camera viewfinder.
• Due to the optical characteristics of this lens, as the
lens is focused closer, the focal length slightly
decreases.
• The distance scale does not indicate the precise
distance between the subject and the camera. Values
are approximate and should be used only as a general
guide. When shooting distant landscapes, depth of
field may influence operation so that the camera may
focus at a position that is closer than infinity.
Focusing (Fig. A)
Set your camera’s focus mode selector according to
this chart:
Autofocus with manual override (M/A
mode)

Autofocus is provided, but you can manually
override the focus by operating the separate focus
ring while pressing the shutter-release button
halfway or AF start (AF-ON) button on the camera
body of cameras so equipped.

Remove your finger then press the shutter-release
button halfway or the AF start button once again to
cancel manual focus and resume autofocus.
