WARNING CAUTION

This mark indicates precautions that if not followed, could result in serious injury to the user. This mark indicates precautions that if not followed, could result in minor or medium injury to the user or damage to the equipment.
CAUTION Do not leave the lens in direct sunlight without lens caps. Sunrays passing through the lens will be intensified, and should they focus on flammable materials, fire may occur.
WARNING Never look at the sun through the lens or camera. Serious damage to the retina, or total loss of eyesight may occur. Wrapping the strap around your neck is dangerous. Make sure that small children do not get the strap caught their neck. (A strap is supply only with some large types of lenses)
PRECAUTION AND LENS MAINTENANCE
1. Storage and mildew prevention Take the lens out of the protective case or camera bag, and store it in a dry, well-ventilated place. Avoid storing the lens in a poorly ventilated location such as a closet, wardrobe, drawer, vehicle, or where insect repellent or medicine is kept. Avoid storing the lens in areas of high temperature and humidity, where there is a risk of mildew growth. Store the lens with a desiccant in a dry cabinet, airtight container, or plastic bag. (Leaving a saturated desiccant in the storage container can cause damage to the lens. Be sure to read the instructions that came with the desiccant before use.) 2. The lens is not waterproof. When using the lens in a rain or mist, be careful not to allow it to get wet. 3. Never use any organic solvent such as thinner, alcohol, or benzine, etc. to remove dust on the lens. 4. The lens is a precise optical instrument. Be careful not to let it fall, or subject it to strong shocks or pressure. Use a cushion or similar pad to protect the lens from the vibrations of motorcycles or other vehicles, boats, etc. 5. Avoid subjecting the lens to rapid changes in temperature, otherwise condensation can occur on both the inside and the outside of the lens. Put the lens in a plastic bag or camera bag, and take it out after the lens has reached ambient temperature. 6. When the lens is not attached to the camera body, attach both the supplied lens cap and lens mount cap to protect it from dust. 7. Do not leave the camera with the lens cap off attached to a tripod or other rigid camera support. The inner parts of the camera can be damaged by direct sunlight. 8. Have the lens inspected by a dealer every one or two years to maintain its high performance.

APERTURE CONTROL

ft 2 m

The lens can be mounted on the camera by aligning the finger point with the lens unlock button. Following Limited lenses have finger point. FA31mm f/1.8AL Limited. FA43mm f/1.9 Limited. FA77mm f/1.8 Limited.
Setting the aperture to "A"(Auto) Turn the aperture ring to align the aperture-A index with the line while depressing the Aperture-A-lock button. The aperture ring can be released from "A" in the same manner to set your desired f-stop manually. FA28-105mm f/4-5.6(IF) and FA28-200 mm f/3.8-5.6AL lenses can set to "A" position without depressing the Aperture-A-lock button. When using the camera body with no lens information contact, set the aperture ring to desired f-stop other than "A" position.

FOCUSING

5. 821 4
To set the focus mode Slide the focus mode switch on the camera body to change the focus mode to AF (Autofocus) or MF (Manual focus). During autofocus, do not touch the focusing ring of your lens or you will interfere with proper lens movement.
In manual focus mode You can adjust focus on the subjects by turning the focusing ring manually and confirming the focus indicator in the viewfinder. FA 28-90mm f/3.5-5.6, FA J 28-80mm f/3.5-5.6AL and FA J 75-300mm f/4.55.8AL lenses have no distance scale, adjust focus with aid of the matte field for non-auto focus camera or using focus indicator in the viewfinder for auto focus camera.
F-STOPS OR F-NUMBERS AND CLICK STOPS There is a white dot next to the maximum fnumber engraved on the lens's aperture ring on many Pentax lenses. This white dot indicates an aperture which is darker by one stop (larger number). The illustration below shows the white dot next to f/4.5 is f/5.6.
The click stops between two engraved f/stops are equivalent to intermediate f-stops. Some lenses do not have an intermediate click fstop on the aperture ring due to limited space between the f-numbers engraved on the aperture ring.

HOW TO USE THE INFRARED INDEX

8 5.2.1.4 A 22

When taking infrared pictures with infrared film and either a "R2" or "02" filter, it is necessary to adiust the focus because the point of focus is not the same with infrared light as it is with visible light. As shown above, memorize the focusing point on the lens distance scale when viewed through the viewfinder and turn the focusing ring until the point you memorized aligns with the infrared index.
Turn the focusing ring in the MANUAL focus mode only. For the exposure control requierd in this special photography, see the information supplied with the infrared film. Caution : Infrared film can not be used for MZ-S, MZ-60 and * ist cameras since infrared ray is used for detecting device of film transport. It will expose infrared film in the camera.

Notes : Do not use the built-in flash with lens hood because it blocks the flash light, except the FA43mmf/1.9 Limited lens.
PH = Plastic, RH = Rubber, MH = Metal When using the FA28-70mmf/4AL lens with lens hood and filter, it may cause vignetting at edges of picture at focal length of 35mm and shorter. (Except *ist D) The external flash can be used with lens hood attached to lens. FA 28-70mm f/2.8AL lens with the external flash, refer to page 30 for precautions. (Except *ist D)
How to Use the Square Hood Attach the square hood to the front of the lens while pressing the knurled tabs on both sides of the hood. Make sure to keep the top and bottom of the hood parallel with the top and bottom covers of the camera. The improper fitting will cause the vignetting in the picture corners.
How to Use the Round Hood The round hood screws into the front of the lens. The round type rubber hood can be folded when not in use.
How to Use the Built-in Hood To use a lens with a built-in hood, first extend the hood to the fullest position. The 600mm f/4 lens and 250-600mm f/5.6 zoom lenses come in screw-fixed-type. Extend these hoods while rotating them for use. See the lens instruction manual for details.

Precautions for using a polarizing filter The circular polarizing filter is thicker than an ordinary one. For this reason, using the circular polarizing filter with lenses as shown on the chart on the right may cause vignetting at the edges of picture. No vignetting occur when the circular polarizing filter on the lens is used with the *ist D camera.
Use a circular polarizing filter with Autofocus camera for proper exposure and auto focusing.

Please refer to your camera's operating manual for more details. 1. Zoom clip mode to pre-set or re-call the focal length 2. Image size tracking mode to maintain the image size (magnification value) regardless of the distance to the subject. 3. Zoom effect mode to zoom automatically during an exposure. Auto zoom switch and Zoom set button 1. P (Power zoom), PZ in some lenses Set to this position in power zooming 2. A (Auto zoom), AZ in some lenses Set to this position for Auto zoom 3. AS (Auto zoom set), MODE in some lenses Set this position to select the type of Auto zoom function.

Automatic lens retraction When the power zoom lens is used with KAF2mount cameras, the following functions work when the main switch is turned off. 1. The zoom ring automatically retracts to its shortest length. 2. The focusing ring is set to infinity(). With the combination of MZ-S camera, the zoom ring retracts to shortest length only.
Note on Tulip mark ( ) The zoom lens provide with the tulip mark ( ) on the focusing ring that enable to take a picture at closest distance as a fixed focal length lens, even set at wide-angle position. However, at the edges of picture may be darkened due to reducing brightness of image field. When combined with non-KAF2-mount cameras, FA Zoom lens with power supply contacts does not work following functions. As the Power Zoom function does not work, set the manual zoom mode. Pull the zoom ring towards the camera side until the words "POWER ZOOM" disappears to set the manual zoom mode. The Auto Zoom switch and Zoom Set button do not work.
Using the manual zoom Pull the zoom ring back to use as manual zoom ring, the word "POWER ZOOM" disappears.

Manual aperture To set the aperture of the zoom lens manually, align the aperture-A index with the whitebar index. The dot on the left-hand side of the white-bar index serves as an index to align an f-stop other than "A" when shooting at a longer focal length. For example, when using the FA Zoom 28-80 mm lens and wishing to set the aperture to f/8 with the focal length at 80 mm, align "8" on the aperture ring with the dot on the left-hand side.
"A" (Auto) position To set the aperture to "A" (Auto), align the aperture-A index with the white-bar index, regardless of focal length selected.
Infrared Index of the Zoom Lens When taking infrared photographs with the zoom lens, compensation in focus is necessary depending upon the focal length. The distance scale of the zoom lens has infrared indexes for each focal length. Compensate for the focus according to the focal length in use (see page 9.).

With lenses having indexes only for the longest and shortest focal length, such as FA Zoom 70-200mm, obtain the compensation value for intermediate focal length by using the scale as a guide.

The red line on the lens barrel of the FA28105mm f/4-5.6 (IF) is the infrared index line. Compensate for focus according to the focal length in use. See more details on page 9. The following lenses have no infrared index line. FA Zoom 28-90mm f/3.5-5.6 FA Zoom 28-200mm f/3.8-5.6

MACRO LENS

FA Macro 50mm f/2.8, FA Macro 100mm f/2.8 and FA Macro 200mm f/4ED (IF) lenses adjust focus from infinity to life-size. FA Macro 100mm f/3.5 lens adjust focus from infinity to 1/2x. Focus-range limiter FA Macro100mm f/2.8 and FA Macro 200mm f/4ED (IF) lenses equipped with the focus-range limiter that control the focusing ranges to adjust Autofocus quickly. To set the focus-range limiter Turn the focus limiter to "LIMIT" with the focusing ring at infinity, the focusing range is set to long-distance range, and do the same with the focusing ring at minimum distance for short-distance range. Refer to chart for focusing range on page22.

FOCUS RANGE

When the focus range-limiter is set to "MANUAL", you can adjust focus manually. The focus range limiter may not turn where the focus range changes between long and short distances. Using with the KAF2-mount cameras, manual focus will work with the focus-range limiter is set to MANUAL in autofocus mode. FA Macro 200mm f/4ED (IF) lens has a focusing ring which provides autofocus and manual focus settings. Push the focusing ring forward or pull to change the focus mode from autofocus to manual.
With the K AF2 -mount camera, when the focusing ring is set to MANUAL, the shutter cannot be released unless the focus indication appears in the view finder if camera is set to the autofocus mode (AF single mode).
Focusing range Limiter set FA Macro 100mm f/2.8 FA Macro 200mm f/4ED (IF)
Short-distance range 0.306m(1x) - 0.57m(1/4x) 0.514m(1x) - 0.7m(1/2x)
Long-distance range Approx.0.6m - infinity Approx.0.7m - infinity
Clamp Screw FA Macro 50mm f/2.8 and 100mm f/2.8 lenses are equipped with a clamp screw that is used when focusing manually. With manual close-up photography using the copy stand in any situation or with the lens pointing down , if you turn the clamp screw to the ON position, rotation of the focusing ring becomes tight. This helps to prevent the rotation of the focusing ring due to the lens's own weight and avoid any shift in focus. When shooting in the autofocus mode, turn the clamp screw to the OFF position. Activating the autofocus mode while the clamp screw is in the ON position slows down the focusing speed.

Tripod Mount FA 200mm f/4 ED (IF) is equipped with the tripod mount. To position the camera vertically or horizontally, loosen the camera position shift lock screw, turn the camera 90 to the right or left as desired, and tighten the lock screw firmly. The tripod mount is not detachable. Camera position shift lock screw
Magnification Scale The magnification is indicated by denominators on the distance scale. "5" indicates "1/5x". When determining the magnification first, set the magnification in the MANUAL focus mode and adjust the position of the camera by moving the camera closer or further from the subject.

WIDE-ANGLE LENS (FA 24mm f/2 (IF) ) When the lens is set to manual focus position and the focusing ring is fully rotated to the right or left to manually focus the lens, it will keep rotating as no stoppers are provided at the or shortest distance positions. When the focusing ring on the lens is set to the autofocus position, the focusing ring is released, allowing a full 360 rotation and providing a click stop at each 30 turn. When used on the KAF-mount camera, set the same focus mode on the camera and lens. When the camera is set to the autofocus mode (AF single) and the lens is set to the manual mode, the shutter cannot be released unless the focus indication appears in the viewfinder. When used on the non-KAF2- or KAF-mount camera, focus the lens manually with the focusing ring.

AUTO FOCUS

A 5.28
FA 24mm f/2 lens has a focusing ring which provides autofocus and manual focus settings. Push the focusing ring or pull it towards you to set the autofocus or manual focus mode respectively. When used on the KAF2-mount camera, you can use the manual focus mode by setting the manual mode on the lens even if the autofocus mode is set on the camera.
TELEPHOTO LENS (FA 85mm f/1.4(IF), FA 200mm f/2.8ED(IF), FA 300mm f/4.5ED(IF) FA Macro 200mm f/4ED(IF) ) FA 300mm f/4.5 lens has a focusing ring which provides autofocus and manual focus settings. Push the focusing ring or pull it towards you to set the autofocus or manual focus mode respectively.

* The illustration depicts the FA 300mm f/4.5 lens : when using the FA 85mm f/1.4, FA 200mm f/2.8 and FA Macro 200mm f/4, the operation is similar to the FA 300mm f/4.5. * For FA 300mmf/2.8 and FA 600mm f/4 lenses, refer to their own manual, too.
When used on the KAF2-mount camera, you can use manual focus mode by setting the manual mode on the lens even if the autofocus mode is set on the camera.
When the lens is set to manual focus position and the focusing ring is fully rotated to the right or left to manually focus the lens, it will keep rotating as no stoppers are provided at the (infinity) or shortest distance positions. When the focusing ring on the lens is set to the autofocus position, the focusing ring is locked. When used on the KAF-mount camera, set the same focus mode on the camera and lens. When the camera is set to the autofocus mode (AF single) and the lens to manual focus mode, the shutter cannot be released unless the focus indication appears in the viewfinder.
Note : infinity () mark except the FA 85mm f/1.4 lens The focusing ring of the telephoto lens stops slightly past the mark. This is because temperature change causes the focusing point to shift, making the lens focus on a point past the mark. Even when shooting at infinity, be sure the image is in focus utilizing the focus indicator before releasing the shutter.
PRECAUTIONS WHEN THE FLASH IS USED Built-in FLASH With the built-in flash in popped-up position, the flash can be used if no warning indication appears when the shutter release button is pressed halfway down. However, some lenses cause vignetting in the picture corners, even though warning indication does not appear. For more details, refer to page 38 and 39. When using the *ist D camera, no warning indication appear in the viewfinder even if you use the incompatible lenses with the built-in flash. Refer to the lens compatibility with the built-in flash on the *ist D operating manual. Remove the lens hood when the built-in flash is used because the flash light will be blocked by the lens hood.
