The Pentax FA lenses are primarily designed to work with the Pentax autofocus SLR (K AF2 - or K AF2 -mount camera), making autofocus shooting possible. When Pentax FA Zoom lenses with power zoom function are used on the Pentax K AF2 - mount camera, the camera features a Power Zoom system. • An FA zoom lens without the power zoom contacts are show[...]

• 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[...]

There is a white dot next to the maximum f- number engraved on the lens's aperture ring on many Pentax lenses. This white dot indi- cates 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. F-STOPS OR F-NUMBERS AND CLICK STOPS The click stops between two engraved f/stops a[...]

When taking infrared pictures with infrared film and either a "R2" or "02" filter, it is neces- sary 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, memo- rize the focusing point on the lens distance scale when viewed through the viewfinder and turn [...]

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 Li[...]

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 polar- izing filter or circular polarizing filter, and includes a "PL filter window" for adjusting the polarizing effect. • When attaching the hood, align the white dots [...]

Notes : • Be sure that the PL filter window cap is in place if no polarizing filter or circular polar- izing filter is used. • If strong light is entering the PL filter win- dow, either attach the PL filter window cap or reverse the position of the PL filter win- dow (to top or bottom of lens). Strong light entering the PL filter window will de[...]

15 FILTERS Precautions for using a polarizing filter The circular polarizing filter is thicker than an ordinary filter. 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.

It may shift the focusing point slightly by changing the focal length. First, adjust zoom- ing and then adjust focus using Autofocus or focus indicator in the viewfinde[...]

18 Automatic lens retraction When the power zoom lens is used with K AF2 - mount 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[...]

19 Using the power zoom Push the zoom ring forward until the word "POWER ZOOM "appears on the ring, and move the zoom ring to right or left to change the focal length.

20 Manual aperture To set the aperture of the zoom lens manual- ly, align the aperture-A index with the white- bar 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[...]

21 Infrared Index of the Zoom Lens When taking infrared photographs with the zoom lens, compensation in focus is neces- sary 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[...]
