When taking infrared pictures with infrared film and either a "R2" or "02" filter, it is necessary 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, memorize 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.

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 polarizing 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.

13

FA lens-Body_qx 03.12.1 3:29 PM ページ 14

Notes :

• Be sure that the PL filter window cap is in place if no polarizing filter or circular polarizing filter is used.

• If strong light is entering the PL filter window, either attach the PL filter window cap or reverse the position of the PL filter window (to top or bottom of lens). Strong light entering the PL filter window will defeat the effect of the lens hood and prevent the taking 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.

FILTERS

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 following lenses to the filter holder in the rear of lens.

Precautions for using a polarizing filter

The circular polarizing filter is thicker than an ordinary one.

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.

No vignetting occur when the circular polarizing filter on the lens is used with the *ist D camera.

Infrared Index of the Zoom Lens

When taking infrared photographs with the zoom lens, compensation in focus is necessary 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.).

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.

• The following lenses have no infrared index line.

FA Zoom 28-90mm f/3.5-5.6

FA Zoom 28-200mm f/3.8-5.6

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.

Clamp Screw

FA Macro 50mm f/2.8 and 100mm f/2.8 lenses 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 position, 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.

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.

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 temperature 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.

PRECAUTIONS WHEN THE FLASH IS

USED

PRECAUTIONS WHEN USING THE FA 28-70mm f/2.8

LENS AND LENS HOOD WITH THE EXTERNAL FLASH.

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 lenses cause vignetting in the picture corners, even though warning indication does not appear. For more details, refer to page 38 and 39.

• When using the *ist D camera, no warning indication appear in the viewfinder even if you use the incompatible lenses with the built-in flash.

Refer to the lens compatibility with the built-in flash on the *ist D operating manual.

• 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.
