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

are equivalent to intermediate f-stops. Some

lenses do not have an intermediate click f-

stop on the aperture ring due to limited space

between the f-numbers engraved on the

aperture ring.

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 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.

•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.

•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.

LENS HOOD

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

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.

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 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 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.

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 defeat the

effect of the lens hood and prevent the tak-

ing 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 fol-

lowing 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 Fish-

Eye Zoom 17-28mm lens.

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.

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 the

longest and shortest focal length, such as FA

Zoom 70-200mm, obtain the compensation

value for intermediate focal length by using

the scale as a guide.

The red line on the lens barrel of the FA28-

105mm f/4-5.6 (IF) is the infrared index line.

Compensate for focus according to the focal

length in use. See more details on page 9.

Clamp Screw

FA Macro 50mm f/2.8 and 100mm f/2.8 lens-

es 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 posi-

tion, 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 vertical-

ly 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.

Magnification Scale

The magnification is indicated by denomina-

tors 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 fur-

ther from the subject.

FA★24mm f/2 lens has a focusing ring which

provides autofocus and manual focus set-

tings. 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 aut-

ofocus mode is set on the camera.

•When the lens is set to manual focus posi-

tion 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 pro-

vided at the ∞or shortest distance posi-

tions.

•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 autofo-

cus 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.

*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.

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.

When used on the KAF2-mount camera, you

can use manual focus mode by setting the

manual mode on the lens even if the autofo-

cus 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 autofo-

cus mode (AF single) and the lens to man-

ual 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 tem-

perature 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.

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 lens-

es cause vignetting in the picture corners,

even though warning indication does not

appear. For more details, refer to page 38

and 39.

•Remove the lens hood when the built-in

flash is used because the flash light will be

blocked by the lens hood.

The vignetting will not occur without the lens

hood.
