2-686-121-01(1) ­2 · · DT 11-18mm F4.5-5.6 2 English This manual is for use with several different lenses. This lens is designed for Sony mount cameras (models equipped with APS-C sized image sensor). You cannot use on 35mm-format cameras. Cleaning the lens · Do not touch the surface of the lens directly. · If the lens gets dirty, brush off dust with a lens blower and wipe with a soft, clean cloth (Cleaning Cloth KK-CA (optional) is recommended). · Do not use any organic solvent, such as thinner or benzine, to clean the lens or the camera cone. Focusing When using the auto focus, the camera focuses the lens automatically. When focusing manually, set your camera to the manual focus and rotate the focusing ring while looking through the viewfinder. The focus signal in the viewfinder indicates the current degree of the focus. · The focusing ring can be rotated slightly past the infinity to provide accurate focusing under various operating temperatures. Do not rotate the focusing ring all the way to the end when focusing manually, even at infinity. Look through the viewfinder and set the focus precisely. · For Lens model DT 18-200mm F3.5-6.3, the focusing ring rotates the opposite way than the other DT Zoom lenses. /Lens for Digital Single Lens Reflex Camera/ Objectif pour appareil photo numérique reflex à objectifs interchangeables/ /Operating Instructions/Mode d'emploi/ Manual de instrucciones/ WARNING To reduce fire or shock hazard, do not expose the unit to rain or moisture.

CAUTION You are cautioned that any changes or modifications not expressly approved in this manual could void your authority to operate this equipment. 2 · · NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: ­ Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. ­ Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. ­ Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. ­ Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. DT 18-70mm F3.5-5.6: Fit the hood into the mount on the end of the lens barrel and rotate the hood clockwise until it clicks. DT 11-18mm F4.5-5.6, DT 18-200mm F3.5-6.3: Align the red lines on the lens hood and the lens. Turn the hood clockwise until the red line on the lens meets the red dot on the hood and it clicks into place. · When using a built-in camera flash, make sure to remove the lens hood to avoid blockage of the flash light. · If a marking (red line, red dot, etc.) is provided, attach the lens hood properly. Otherwise, the lens hood may interfere with the desired effect or may appear in pictures. · When storing, turn over the lens hood and place it onto the lens backwards.

To reduce this phenomena (called vignetting), close the aperture by 1 to 2 stops. · With certain of lens/filter combinations, the frame of the filter may block the incident radiation. This may significantly lower the light intensity when shooting with the aperture wide open (low f-stop). Take test photographs at different aperture settings for best results. (DT 11-18mm F4.5-5.6 only) *1 The values for equivalent 35mm-format focal length and angle of view are based on Digital Single Lens Reflex Cameras equipped with an APS-C sized image sensor. *2 Minimum focus is the shortest distance from the image sensor to the subject. · This lens is equipped with a distance encoder. The distance encoder allows more accurate measurement (ADI) by using a flash for ADI. · Depending on the lens mechanism, the focal length may change with any change of the shooting distance. The focal length assumes the lens is focused at infinity. Condensation If your lens is brought directly from a cold place to a warm place, condensation may appear on the lens. To avoid this, place the lens in a plastic bag or something similar. When the air temperature inside the bag reaches the surrounding temperature, take the lens out.
