The Pentax FA lenses are primarily designed to work with the Pentax autofocus SLR (KAFor K AF2-mount camera), making autofocus shooting possible. When Pentax FA Zoom lenses with power zoom function are used on the Pentax KAF2mount camera, the camera features a Power Zoom system. An FA zoom lens without the power zoom contacts are shown in the illustration does not have the power zoom function. Do not damage or dirty the power contacts. KAF2-mount

When using FA lens with the K-mount Pentax camera having no lens information contacts, be sure to set the lens aperture ring to any f-stop other then A. If set to the "A" position, the lens will automatically be set to the minimum aperture, causing improper exposure. CAUTION : Be careful not to damage or dirty the lens information contacts and AF coupler on the mount surfaces of the camera and lens. Otherwise, failure or malfunction may result. If this occurs, wipe them gently with a clean, dry cloth. FA J18-35mm f/4-5.6AL, FA J28-80mm f/3.5-5.6AL and FA J75-300 mm f/4.55.8AL lenses have no aperture ring to set a f-stop manually. Aperture settings are controlled automatically as if set to the auto "A" position, so accessories without an auto "A" setting cannot be used with these lenses.

MOUNTING AND REMOVING OF LENS
1. To mount the lens on the camera body Align the red dots on the lens and camera body, and then turn the lens clockwise until it clicks into place. After mounting the lens, try to turn the lens counterclockwise to make sure it is locked in place.

2. To remove the lens Hold down the lens unlock button on the camera body and turn the lens counterclockwise.

FINGER POINT

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.
LENS HOOD Make sure to use a proper size lens hood specially designed for your lens.

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. Lenses with Built-in Hoods FA 31mm f/1.8 AL Limited FA 77mm f/1.8 Limited FA 135mm f/2.8 (IF) FA 600mm f/4 ED (IF) FA Zoom 250-600mm f/5.6 ED (IF) * The built-in flash of the camera can be used when the built-in hood is utilized on the FA 77mmf/1.8 and FA 135 mm f/2.8 lens. For more details of Bayonet hoods, refer to page 28.
LENS HOOD for FA 24mm f/2
How to attach To attach the hood to the lens, align ( | ) on the hood and ( ) on the lens front, then turn the hood clockwise to lock it in place. To remove it, reverse the above procedure. When the hood is not in use, align ( | ) on the hood and ( ) on the lens front, then turn the hood counterclockwise to lock it in place. Always attach the lens hood to avoid stray light.
How to Use the Lens Hood with polarizing filter window 1. Remove the PL filter window cap by sliding it in the direction shown. The hood is designed for use with a polarizing filter or circular polarizing filter, and includes a "PL filter window" for adjusting the polarizing effect. When attaching the hood, align the white dots on the lens and hood so that the PL filter window positions on the bottom.
2. Turn the outer rim of the polarizing filter or circular polarizing filter from the PL filter window as shown. 3. Attach the PL filter window cap.
FILTERS Notes : Be sure that the PL filter window cap is in place if no polarizing filter or circular polarizing filter is used. If strong light is entering the PL filter window, either attach the PL filter window cap or reverse the position of the PL filter window (to top or bottom of lens). Strong light entering the PL filter window will defeat the effect of the lens hood and prevent the taking of clear, sharp images. When the Pentax circular polarizing filter 58mm, which has the knurl ring on the back is used with the FA Zoom24-90mm f/3.5-4.5AL (IF) or FA Zoom 28-105mm f/3.2-4.5AL (IF) lens, the special lens hood cannot be attached. When a non-Pentax circular polarizing filter is attached, it also may not be attached. Screw-in Type Filters This type of filter screws into the front of the lens. Make sure to use the proper size Pentax filter specially designed for your lens. Precaution on filters Attaching the filter to your lens becomes a part of the optic. Avoid using no more than one filter exception of with a polarizing filter, as deterioration in image quality may results. Attach the 43mm filters supplied with following lenses to the filter holder in the rear of lens. FA 300mm f/2.8ED (IF) FA 600mm f/4ED (IF) FA 250-600mm f/5.6ED (IF) A filter cannot be attached to the F FishEye Zoom 17-28mm lens.

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.

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.

1/x ft m

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.
PRECAUTIONS WHEN USING THE FA 28-70mm f/2.8 LENS AND LENS HOOD WITH THE EXTERNAL FLASH.
