Setup Notes

Set Macro Mode to “On” when shooting very close subjects.
The camera does NOT operate with “automated” flash when in the “M”

Certain camera functions can be assigned to the Control Ring through
the camera MENU. Refer to your camera owners manual for additional

information.
To use the camera in Manual mode, rotate the Mode Dial to “Tv” and set
the shutter speed to 1/60th second or 1/125th second for fast moving
subjects. Then, rotate the Mode Dial to “M” Manual Mode. Set the
Control Ring to “STD” and adjust aperture setting as needed.

Attaching the Control Ring Gear (see illustration below)

The supplied Control Ring Gear is attached to the camera control ring by

3 small nylon hex
