This instruction manual explains how to use lenses.
Precautions common to all lenses such as notes on use
are found in the separate “Precautions before using”. 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 (models equipped with APS-C sized image
sensor). You cannot use on 35 mm-format cameras.
Notes on use
When carrying a camera with the lens attached, always firmly
hold both the camera and the lens.
Do not hold by any part of the lens that protrudes when
zooming.
When using this lens with an E-mount camera, attach a
separately sold Mount Adaptor. Do not attach the lens directly
to the E-mount camera or you may damage both.
This lens is not water-proof, although designed with dust-
proofness and splash-proofness in mind. If using in the rain
etc., keep water drops away from the lens.
Precautions for flash use
When using a built-in camera flash, always remove the lens
hood and shoot at least 1m (3.3 feet) away from your subject.
With certain combinations of lens and flash, the lens may
partially block the light of the flash, resulting in a shadow at
the bottom of the picture.
When a built-in camera flash is used, the corners of the screen
may appear darker at wide-angle position. Check the focal
length according to the built-in flash on your camera.
Vignetting
When using 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 and detaching the lens
To attach the lens
(See illustration –.)
1Remove the rear and front lens caps and the
camera body cap.
You can attach/detach the front lens cap in two ways, (1)
and (2). When you attach/detach the lens cap with the lens
hood attached, use method (2).
2Align the orange index on the lens barrel with
the orange index 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.
Do not mount the lens at an angle.
To remove the lens
(See illustration –.)
While holding down the lens release button on the
camera, rotate the lens counterclockwise until it stops,
then detach the lens.
Attaching the 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), then insert the lens
hood into the lens mount and rotate it clockwise until
the red point on the lens hood is aligned with the red
line on the lens and the lens hood clicks into place.
Attach the lens hood precisely or it may be ineffective or
appear in pictures.
When storing, fit the lens hood onto the lens backwards.

Zooming
Rotate the zooming ring to the desired focal length.
Zoom lock
This prevents the lens barrel from extending due to the
weight of the lens while it is carried.
Slide the zoom lock switch to lock. (See illustration -.)
To unlock, slide the zoom lock switch back.
Focusing
To switch between AF (auto focus) and
MF (manual focus)
Focusing 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
(See illustration .)
Slide the focus-mode switch to the appropriate mode, AF or
MF. (See illustration -.)
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 lens are set to AF.
Press the AF/MF control button to switch MF to AF when the
camera is set to MF and the lens is set to AF.
Direct manual focus (DMF)
Rotate the focusing ring to set the correct DMF when the
focus is locked in AF-A (automatic auto focus) or AF-S
(singleshot auto focus).
DMF is not available in the following cases:
When the image is out of focus
When AF-C (continuous auto focus) is selected
When focusing of the second photo is complete in
continuous recording in AF-A
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 or other viewing part, especially when the
lens is focused near infinit

This lens is equipped with a distance encoder. The distance
encoder enables more accurate measurement (ADI) if used
with an ADI-compatible flash.
Depending on the lens mechanism, the focal length may
change with any change of the shooting distance. The focal
length assumes the lens is focused at infinity.
