* This lens can be mounted on the camera which is based on the Micro Four
Thirds System lens mount.
* This lens is a manually focusing lens without an electronic interface. Focusing
is manual by setting the camera to “M mode”/ “Manual mode” or “A mode”/
“Aperture priority mode”. Please note that other shooting modes may not work
properly.
* Manual focusing can be more precise by enlarging the image on the LCD
monitor. Please refer to the instruction manual of your camera for how to
enlarge the subjects on the LCD monitor.
* In order to use this lens, please set the camera as follows.
- set “Shoot W/O lens” to “ON” (for Panasonic’s cameras only)

Please refer to the instruction manual of your camera for how to set the mode.
* When using the lens on OLYMPUS E-P1, E-P2, E-PL1, and E-PL1s please set the
exposure mode to “Center-weighted metering” or “Spot metering”. Proper
exposure may not be achieved if setting is set at “Digital ESP metering”.
* Owing to the fact that this is an ultra fast lens, the depth of eld is extremely
shallow when it is used at the widest open aperture or close to it. Any change
of ambient temperature can aect the focusing. For compensation, you can
focus slightly beyond innity. It is also recommended that you use the focus
conrmation which is available on most Micro 4/3 cameras.
