Digital SLR cameras have removable lenses that you can interchange with other lenses, depending on the type of photographs you are taking. Pentax makes camera lenses for digital SLR cameras. The lenses provide you with more control over how you shoot photographs when compared to point and click cameras by including the option for manual focus and zoom. Learn mount, operate and remove Pentax lenses from your digital SLR camera before use.
Instructions
1. Align the red mounting dot on the Pentax lens with the mounting dot on the camera. Insert the lens in the camera mount and turn the lens to the right until it clicks in place.
2. Pinch in on the lens cap tabs and pull the lens cap away from the lens when you are ready to use the camera. Protect the lens by leaving the lens cap on until you are taking pictures.
3. Move the "Focus Mode" switch on the side of the lens to "AF" for automatic focus mode or "M" for manual focus mode. When in "AF" mode, the camera adjusts the lens to focus on the subject of the photograph. When in "M" mode, you must focus the camera by hand.
4. Press the shutter button halfway when in "AF" mode to automatically focus on the subject and then press the button fully to take the photograph. Twist the focusing ring on the end of the lens to the left and right while looking through the viewfinder to focus on the subject of the photograph when in "M" mode and then press the shutter button fully. When using "AF" mode, you can further adjust the focus when holding the shutter button halfway by turning the focusing ring to the left or right, as you would in "M" mode. Press the shutter button fully when you are done to take the photograph.
5. Twist the zoom ring on the lens to the right for telephoto zooming and to the left for wide-angle shots. The zoom ring is the large ring in the middle of the Pentax lens.
6. Press the lens cap onto the Pentax lens before removing it from the camera. Press the lens release button on the camera, twist the lens to the left and pull it off of the camera.
