Focusing
To switch AF (auto focus)/MF (manual focus)
The focus mode can be switched between AF and MF on the lens.
For AF photography, both the camera and lens should be set to AF. For MF
photography, either or both the camera or lens should be set to MF.
To set the focus mode on the lens
Slide the focus-mode switch to the appropriate mode, AF or MF (1).
Refer to the camera manuals to set the focus mode of the camera.ˎ
In MF, turn the focusing ring to adjust the focus (2) while looking through the ˎ
viewfinder, etc.
To use a camera equipped with an AF/MF control button
Press the AF/MF control button to switch AF to MF when both the camera and ˎ
lens are set to AF.
Press the AF/MF control button to switch MF to AF when the camera is set to
ˎ
MF and the lens is set to AF.
Direct manual focus (DMF)
Even when AF is set, the setting is switched to MF automatically if you rotate
the focusing ring while pressing the shutter button halfway. This provides
quick fine adjustment of focusing (DMF). Select the mode for correct DMF
from the following. Set the DMF-mode switch to whichever you prefer.
Standard DMF (STD.)
Rotate the focusing ring to set correct DMF when the focus is locked in AF-A
(automatic auto focus) or AF-S (single-shot auto focus). Using this mode is
recommended for normal subjects.
DMF is not available in AF-C (continuous auto focus), when out of focus, or ˎ
with continuous advance in AF-A after the second focus is confirmed.
Full-time DMF (F TIME)
In any AF mode (AF-A/S/C), rotate the focusing ring while pressing the
shutter button halfway to set correct DMF. This is useful to catch a fast-
moving subject.
Shooting at infinity in MF
The focusing mechanism turns slightly past infinity to provide accurate
focusing under various operating temperatures. Always confirm the image
sharpness through the viewfinder, etc., especially when the lens is focused
near infinity.
Using focus-hold buttons
This lens has 3 focus-hold buttons.
Press the focus-hold button in AF to cancel AF. The focus is fixed and you
can release the shutter on the fixed focus. Release the focus-hold button while
pressing the shutter button halfway to start AF again.
The function of the focus-hold button can be changed on cameras with custom ˎ
function capability. Refer to the camera manuals for details.
Switching focus range (AF range)
The focus-range limiter enables you to reduce the auto focusing time. This is
useful when the subject distance is definite.
Slide the focus-range limiter to select the focus range.
FULL: AF is set to the minimum focusing distance to infinity.ˎ
∞ - 3m: AF is set to 3 m (9.8 feet) to infinity.ˎ
Depth-of-field table
The sets of three numbers, upper, middle, and bottom, are for 70 mm,
105 mm, and 200 mm focal length respectively, in meters.
The depth-of-field table is for 35mm-format cameras. The depth-of-field is
shallower when you use Interchangeable Lens Digital Cameras equipped with
an APS-C sized image sensor.

Minimum focus is the distance from the image sensor to the subject.
This lens is equipped with a distance encoder. The distance encoder allows more
ˎ
accurate measurement (ADI) by employing a flash for the process.
Depending on the lens mechanism, the focal length may change with any change
ˎ
of the shooting distance. The focal length assumes the lens is focused at infinity.

You will find information on using each lens in this manual. Precautions
common to lenses, such as notes on use will be found in “Precautions
before using” on a separate sheet. Be sure to read both documents before
using the lens.
This lens is designed for A-mount, which can be used on Sony α cameras.
Notes on use
When using this lens with an E-mount camera, attach a separately sold Mount ˎ
Adaptor. Do not attach the lens directly to the E-mount camera or you may
damage both.
When you carry the camera with the lens attached, make sure to hold both the
ˎ
camera and the lens steadily.
This lens is not water-proof, although designed with dust-proofness and splash-
ˎ
proofness in mind. If using in the rain etc., keep water drops away from the lens.
Precaution for flash use
When using a built-in camera flash, make sure to remove the lens hood.
With certain of lens/flash combinations, the lens may partially block the light
of the flash, resulting in a shadow at the bottom of the picture.
Vignetting
When you use lens, the corners of the screen become darker than the center.
To reduce this phenomena (called vignetting), close the aperture by 1 to 2
stops.

Attaching/detaching the lens
To attach the lens (See illustration
–
.)
1
Remove the rear and front lens caps and the camera body cap.
You can attach/detach the lens front cap in two ways, (1) and (2). When
ˎ
you attach/detach the lens cap with the lens hood attached, use method (2).
2
Align the orange dot on the lens barrel (mounting index) with the
orange dot on the camera (mounting index), then insert the lens
into the camera mount and rotate it clockwise until it locks.
Do not press the lens release button on the camera when mounting the lens.
ˎ
Do not mount the lens at an angle.
ˎ
To remove the lens (See illustration
–
.)
While pressing and holding the lens release button on the camera, rotate
the lens counterclockwise until it stops, then detach the lens.
Using the tripod
When using a tripod, attach it to the-mounting collar of the lens, not to the
tripod receptacle of the camera.
To change vertical/horizontal position
Loosen the collar-locking knob on the tripod-mounting collar (1) and rotate the
camera either direction. The camera can be quickly switched between vertical
and horizontal positions while maintaining stability when using a tripod.
Gray dots (collar indexes) are located at 90° intervals on the tripod-mounting ˎ
collar. Align a gray dot on the tripod-mounting collar with the gray line (collar
index) on the lens to adjust the camera position precisely (2).
Tighten the collar-locking knob firmly after the camera position is set.
ˎ
To detach the tripod-mounting collar from the lens
The tripod-mounting collar can be detached from the lens when not using a
tripod.
1
Remove the lens from the camera.
See “
ˎ
Attaching/detaching the lens” for details.
2
Loosen the collar-locking knob (1).
3
Rotate the tripod-mounting collar to align the red line on the
tripod-mounting collar (collar mounting index next to SET/
RELEASE) with the orange dot on the lens (mounting index) (3).
4
Move the tripod-mounting collar towards the lens mount and
detach the tripod-mounting collar from the lens (4).
Attaching lens hood
It is recommended that you use a lens hood to reduce flare and ensure
maximum image quality.
Align the red line on the lens hood with the red line on the lens (Lens
hood index). Turn the lens hood clockwise until the red line on the
lens meets the red dot on the lens hood and it clicks into place (1).
The polarizing-filter window can be opened (2) to allow the rotation of the ˎ
polarizing filter (sold separately) without having to remove the lens hood. Close
the window when shooting.
Attach the lens hood properly. Otherwise, the lens hood may interfere with the
ˎ
desired effect or may appear in pictures.
When storing, turn over the lens hood and place it onto the lens backwards.
ˎ
Zooming
Rotate the zooming ring to the desired focal length.
