ATTACHING LENS TO CAMERA
• How to mount the lens
Removing the rear cap of the lens, align the lens attachment mark on the lens barrel
with its counterpart on the lens mount of the camera and insert the lens mount into the
camera’s mount opening. Rotate the lens clockwise until it click-locks. For Nikon
models, align the lens attachment mark with the dot on the camera and rotate the lens
counter-clockwise until it click-locks.
• How to detach the lens
Pressing the lens release button of the camera down, turn the lens counter-clockwise
(clockwise in case on Nikon), and lift the lens off the camera’s lens mount.
