e_kl567_16.fm Page 6 Wednesday, April 23, 2008 11:42 AM 6 FEATURES OF THE smc PENTAX-DA LENS • The smc PENTAX-DA lens is an interchangeable lens specifically designed for digital cameras. Its image circle is specialized for the image sensor (23.5 x 15.7mm) and its optical system is optimized for the characteristics of digital images. • When autofocusing is finished, it is possible to make fine adjustments by hand using the “Quick-Shift Focus System” (see page 17 for details). • Lenses that have “SDM” in their name are equipped with a supersonic motor. When mounted on a camera that supports supersonic motors, the autofocus is quiet and smooth. • The following lenses are dust and water resistant because each part is individually sealed. This makes it difficult for dust and water to enter inside the lens. DA 300mm f/4ED [IF] SDM, DA 200mm f/2.8ED [IF] SDM, DA 16-50mm f/2.8ED AL [IF] SDM, DA 50-135mm f/2.8ED [IF] SDM e_kl567_16.fm Page 7 Wednesday, April 23, 2008 11:42 AM smc PENTAX-DA LENS Focusing ring 7 Lens hood attaching index Distance scale window Distance scale Depth-of-field scale Depth-of-field scale Mounting index Distance index Note: • The DA lens does not have an aperture ring.

When the flash is used within 0.7m, it causes incorrect exposure control and vignetting in the picture corners. • Refer to the “Compatibility of DA Lenses with the Built-in Flash” chart on page 40 for information on the compatibility of the built-in flash with the lens being used. • If the built-in flash is used with the lens hood attached to the lens, the flash light will be blocked by the lens hood. Always make sure to remove the lens hood before using the built-in flash. External Flash The external flash can be used while the lens hood is attached. However, the following conditions apply to some types of lens. zDA 14mm f/2.8ED [IF] The AF540FGZ and AF360FGZ external flash units can only be used when the wide-angle panel is used (it is also possible to use the lens hood). Other external flash units are not recommended because their coverage angle is not compatible with the angle of view of the lens. zDA 21mm f/3.2 AL Limited External flash units can be used while the lens hood is mounted without problems if it is possible to set their zoom [coverage angle] up to 28mm. zDA FISH-EYE 10-17mm f/3.5-4.5ED [IF] External flash units cannot be used because their coverage angle is not compatible with the angle of view of the lens. e_kl567_16.fm Page 39 Wednesday, April 23, 2008 11:42 AM 39 zDA 12-24mm f/4ED AL [IF] PENTAX external flash units which cover a 24mm lens on a 35mm SLR, or 16mm lens on a digital SLR, can be used when the lens is set from 16mm to 24mm. AF540FGZ and AF360FGZ can be used from 13mm to 24mm with the wide angle panel (In both cases, it is possible to use the lens hood). Please note that at focal lengths less than 13mm the corners of the picture will not be fully illuminated. Other external flash units are not recommended, because their coverage angle is not wide enough to cover the angle of view of the lens. zDA 16-50mm f/2.8ED AL [IF] SDM zDA 16-45mm f/4ED AL PENTAX external flash units which cover a 24mm lens on a 35mm SLR, or 16mm lens on a digital SLR, can be used with the lens hood without problems. * For more information, refer to the manual for the external flash unit. e_kl567_16.fm Page 40 Wednesday, April 23, 2008 11:42 AM 40 Compatibility of DA Lenses with the Built-in Flash Compatibility Lens DA 14mm f/2.8ED [IF] NO DA 21mm f/3.2 AL Limited YES DA 35mm f/2.8 Macro Limited YES DA 40mm f/2.8 Limited YES DA 70mm f/2.4 Limited YES YES DA 200mm f/2.8ED [IF] SDM YES DA 300mm f/4ED [IF] SDM DA FISH-EYE 10-17mm NO f/3.5-4.5ED [IF] DA 12-24mm f/4ED AL [IF] NO DA 16-50mm f/2.8ED AL [IF] YES*1 SDM DA 16-45mm f/4ED AL YES*4 DA 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 AL ΙΙ YES DA 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 AL YES DA 18-250mm f/3.5-6.3ED AL [IF] YES*5 DA 50-135mm f/2.8ED [IF] SDM YES , , , , , NO YES YES YES YES YES YES , NO YES YES YES YES YES YES NO YES YES YES YES YES YES NO NO NO NO NO NO YES*2 YES*3 YES*3 YES*4 YES YES YES*5 YES YES*4 YES YES YES*5 YES YES*4 YES YES YES*5 YES e_kl567_16.fm Page 41 Wednesday, April 23, 2008 11:42 AM 41 Compatibility Lens DA 50-200mm f/4-5.6ED DA 55-300mm f/4-5.8ED , , YES YES YES YES , , , , YES YES YES YES Except for the DA 70mm f/2.4 Limited, DA 40mm f/2.8 Limited and DA 21mm f/3.2 AL Limited, do not use the lens hood when using the built-in flash.
