WARNING
Never look at the sun through the lens or camera. Serious damage to the reti­na, or total loss of eyesight may occur.
Wrapping the strap around your neck is dangerous. Make sure that small chil­dren do not get the strap caught their neck. (A strap is supply only with some large types of lenses)
CAUTION
Do not leave the lens in direct sunlight without lens caps. Sunrays passing through the lens will be intensified, and should they focus on flammable materi­als, fire may occur.
FOR SAFE USE OF YOUR LENS
1
Although we have carefully designed these lenses for safe operation, Please be sure to follow precautions given in this page.
WARNING This mark indicates precautions that if not followed,
could result in serious injury to the user.
CAUTION This mark indicates precautions that if not followed,
could result in minor or medium injury to the user or damage to the equipment.
Leaving the camera in the direct sunlight without covering the lens with the lens cap, may damage to the inside of the camera.
When storing the lens in a case, attach the front and near lens caps that come sup­plied with the lens to protect it from dust and scratches.
After removing the lens from the camera body, be careful not to let it roll over or fall. Be sure to place the lens with its front side down.
Moisture can cause serious damage to optical glass elements. Storage in a damp place may cause mildew, so avoid storing the lens in a place where temperature and
humidity are high. Keep you lens in as dry a place as possible.
If you do not expect to use the lens for an extended period, store it in the case with a desiccant or it is recommended that the lens occasionally be taken out of the case and placed in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place to avoid the possibility of damage due to condensation build-up.
Use a blower or lens brush to remove dust on the lens. If the lens becomes dirty, remove the dirty particle with a blower brush, then wipe it off with a clean cotton cloth or tissue paper moistened with lens cleaning solution. Wipe in a spiral pattern from the center to the outside.

There is a white dot next to the maximum f­number engraved on the lens's aperture ring on many Pentax lenses. This white dot indi­cates 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 f­stop 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 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.

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.
11
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.

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
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.
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. FA

Manual aperture
To set the aperture of the zoom lens manual­ly, align the aperture-A index with the white­bar 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 aperture to f/8 with the focal length at 80 mm, align "8" on the aperture ring with the dot on the left-hand side.

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.).
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 FA28­105mm 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.

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.

The magnification is indicated by denomina­tors 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 fur­ther from the subject.

FA★24mm f/2 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 K
AF2-mount camera, you
can use the manual focus mode by setting the manual mode on the lens even if the aut­ofocus 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 or shortest distance posi­tions.
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 K
AF-mount camera, set
the same focus mode on the camera and lens. When the camera is set to the autofo­cus 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-K
AF2- or KAF-mount
camera, focus the lens manually with the focusing ring.

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 K
AF-mount camera, set
the same focus mode on the camera and lens. When the camera is set to the autofo­cus mode (AF single) and the lens to man­ual 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 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.

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.
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.
