Remove the rear cap of the lens. Align the Lens attachment mark (
insert the lens. Rotate the lens clockwise (in case of Nikon models, counter-clockwise) until it clicks into the locked position.
Press the lens release button on the camera, turn the lens counter-clockwise (in case of a Nikon lens, clockwise), and lift the lens off the
camera's lens mount.
For further details, please read the instruction manual of your camera.
Switch the focusing mode switch of the camera to AF mode (auto focus) in case of a Sony or Pentax camera. In case of a Canon or Nikon
camera, switch the AF/MF switch (
Press the shutter button lightly while looking through the viewfinder. The lens focuses automatically. An in-focus mark will light-up in the
viewfinder when the lens accurately focuses on the main subject. Press the shutter button all the way to take the image.
The distance scale ( ⑦ ) is marked for guidance purposes. The actual focal point may slightly differ from the distance marked on the focal length
index.
For further details, please read the instruction manual of your camera.
Switch the focusing mode switch of the camera to MF mode (manual focus) in case of a Sony or Pentax camera.
In case of a Canon or Nikon camera, switch the AF/MF switch (

At infinity, make sure the image in the viewfinder appears sharp. The infinity position on the A17 is made with certain allowances to insure proper
focus under a variety of conditions.
For further details, please read the instruction manual of your camera.
Rotate the zoom ring (

Set the aperture with aperture selection control on the camera body in accordance with the shooting mode.
The camera may have three ways to set the aperture: adjusting the lens aperture ring, setting from the camera, and setting from both the
lens and the camera.

A bayonet-type lens hood is provided as standard equipment. We recommend shooting with the hood attached whenever possible as the lens
hood eliminates stray light that is harmful to the picture. However, when using the built-in flash, remove the lens hood to avoid a shadow on
the bottom of the photo.

The optical design for Di takes into consideration the various features of digital SLR cameras. However, due to the configuration of digital
SLR cameras, even when the auto focus accuracy is within specifications, the focal point may be a little forward or behind the optimum
point when shooting with auto focus under some conditions.
When the built-in flash on the camera is used, adverse photographic phenomena such as corner illumination fall-off or vignetting at the
bottom part of the image may be observed, especially in wide angle ranges. This is due to the inherent limitation of the coverage of the
built-in flash, and/or the relative position of the flash to the edge of the lens barrel which causes shadows on the image. It is strongly
recommended to use a suitable separate flash unit provided by the camera manufacturer for all flash photography. For further details,
please read the "built-in flash" article on the instruction manual of your camera.
When using the lens in the telephoto focal range, please be cautious of camera shake. To avoid camera shake with digital cameras, use
higher ISO setting; for film cameras, use higher ISO film to obtain higher shutter speeds. Using a tripod or monopod is also effective.
When set on AF mode, interfering with the focus ring may cause serious damage to the lens mechanism.
Certain camera models may indicate the maximum and minimum aperture values of the lens in approximate numbers. This is inherent to
the design of the camera and not an indication of an error.
This lens does not have an infrared index line.
A17NII is mechanically not compatible with teleconverters. When a teleconverter is attached to the A17NII, the AF will not function.
Avoid touching the glass element surface. Use a photographic lens cloth or blower to remove dust from the lens element surface. When not
using the lens, always place a lens cap on it for protection.
Use a lens cleaning tissue or lint cloth with a drop of cleaning solution to remove fingerprints or dirt on the glass lens surface with a rotary
motion from the center to the edge.
Use a silicon cloth to clean your lens barrel only.
Mildew is an enemy of your lens. Clean the lens after shooting near water or in any humid place. Store your lens in a clean, cool and dry
place. When storing the lens in an lens case, store it with commercially available drying agent such as silica gel, and change the agent
occasionally. If you find mildew on your lens, consult an authorized repair shop or nearby photographic store.
Do not touch the lens-camera interface contacts since dust, dirt and/or stains may cause a contact failure between the lens and camera.
When using your equipment [camera and lens] in an environment where the temperature changes from one extreme to the other, make sure
to put your equipment temporarily in a case or a plastic bag for a length of time in order for the equipment to go through a gradual
temperature shift. This will reduce potential equipment trouble.
