● Using the Adapter

Capturing images using the focus range of the attached lens
We recommend using the adapter with the focus ring ③ in the locked position.
Turn the focus ring ③ clockwise until it stops, and then slide the infinity lock lever⑤ in direction B in the figure to lock the focus ring ③ thus preventing it fromrotating.
This prevents unintended focus shift from occurring when using scale focusing
by the distance markings on the lens.
Capturing images at a closer than the minimum focusing distance of the lensSet the focus position on the lens to the minimum focusing distance, then focus
by turning the focus ring ③ on the Adapter after unlocking the infinity lock lever⑤ on the adapter by sliding it in direction A as in the figure.
