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 image sensors in PENTAX digital SLR
cameras 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 19 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 DA
*
55mm f/1.4 SDM uses a circular aperture. Using it when stopping down from
full aperture to about f/2.8 keeps
light
sources and other fuzzy points perfectly round.

These DA
* lenses are dust-proof and water-resistant because each
part
is individually
sealed.
This
makes
it difficult for dust and water to
enter
the lens.
• Lenses with simplified weather-resistant construction
DA 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6
AL
WR
, DA 50-200mm f/4-5.6ED

These lenses are made with a simplified weather-resistant construction by using
DA
*
lens sealing technology which makes it difficult for
water
to
enter the lens.

The
lens uses a supersonic motor.
When
the
lens
is mounted
on
a camera
body
that
does
not
support supersonic motors (including the
KlOD
with firmware older than version 1.30),
the autofocus cannot be operated
by
either
the
AF
motor
in the camera
body
or
the
supersonic
motor.
• If
using the lens with the following cameras, and
the power is turned on, MF appears in
the

In both cases focusing can
be
done
manually.

,
•i4tDL2,
•iMDS2,
•iMDL
or

cameras set as
explained
in "Focusing with the
OK
Button"
on
page 16, you can focus by
pressing the
OK
button.
2.
Hold
down
the
shutter release button
halfway
(or
hold
down the AF button
or
OK
button), then
turn
the focusing ring
to
finely
adjust
focus.
3.
Finally,
press the shutter
release buHon
fully
to
take a picture.
The focusing ring on some
lenses
may rotate during autofocus.
•
Do
not touch the focusing ring while
autofocus is operating as it may cause a
malfunction.
For more information see the "CAUTION"
on page 17.
Page 22
CAUTION
• When using the Quick-Shift Focus
System,
keep pressing the shutter release
button
(or AF button) after you achieve focus and before taking a picture.
If
you
let
go
of the
shutter release button before taking the picture, autofocus
will
operate again when you
press the shutter release
button again.
However, by configuring the camera's custom settings, you can take pictures without
autofocusing after letting go of the shutter
release button.
See
the camera operating
manual
for details about the setting procedure.
•
When focusing with
manual
focus or the Quick-Shift Focus
System,
the mechanism
allows
the focusing ring to rotate freely after
it is set to the
oo
(infinity) or the minimum
focus distance ends. However
do
not attempt to rotate it any farther than these ends
as this will
result in decreased performance.

In
the close-distance scale range (minimum focus distance range), when shooting at the
maximum aperture, image
quality
in the corners of the picture may deteriorate because of
the optical characteristics of the lens.
When taking a picture in this range, we recommend that you use a smaller aperture,
stopping down from full
aperture.

The zoom lens has a focusing ring on the front side and a zoom ring on the rear side.
Turn the zoom ring to set the desired angle of view (lens focal length).
~Memo:
• The focusing point may shift slightly by changing the focal length. First adjust the
zoom and then adjust the focus.
•
The focusing index on the zoom lens is set to match the focus point when the focal
length
is
at telephoto. The focusing index may not match the focus point for other
focal lengths.
About the zoom ring
Turn the zoom ring clockwise for telephoto and counterclockwise for wide-angle.

In
order to avoid deterioration in image
quality from
internal reflection,
use of a
lens hood is
recommended.
a.
Screw-on Type (DA
70mm
f/2.4 Limited dedicated lens
hood)
Screw the hood on
to
the front of the
lens
to attach it.
The hood is
telescopic.
Extend it
fully
to use it.
RSMemo:
The
lens
hood cannot be mounted on some
circular polarizing filters
that are not
produced by
PENTAX.
Page 29
b.
Screw-on Type (DA
40mm
f/2.8 Limited dedicated
lens
hood)
Screw the hood
on
to
the
front
of
the
lens
to
attach it.
c.
Bayonet Type
When attaching
the
lens
hood,
align the index on the lens
hood
with the attaching index
on
the
lens,
and
push
both parts straight toward each other. Attach the
lens
hood
on
the
lens by turning
the
hood in the
clockwise direction,
as
viewed from the front
of
the
lens,
to
lock it
until
it
clicks
into position.
~Memo:
• When attaching the
lens
hood,
hold
the focusing ring and zoom ring securely
to
prevent them from turning.
• When the lens
hood is not in use, it can
also
be turned
around
and
attached in the
reversed position.
Page 30
d.
Bayonet Type (DA 21mm f/3.2 AL Limited dedicated lens
hood)
When attaching the lens hood, align the index on the lens hood with the attaching index
on the lens, and push both parts straight toward each other. Attach the lens hood on the
lens
by
turning the hood in a clockwise direction, as seen from the front of the lens, until
it stops.
~Memo:
•
Vignetting occurs if the camera is used
while
the hood is not completely attached.
•
The dedicated lens hood cannot be attached if a filter is attached to the front of the
lens.
To
use a filter and the dedicated lens hood together, attach a 43mm diameter
filter
to
the back of the hood. (Refer to page 33)
Page 31
About the PL filter window
A PL filter window is attached to the bayonet-type hood included with the lenses
below
to
make manipulating the polarizing filter easier.

Precaution on filters
•
Since a filter becomes a part of the
optical
system when attached to the
lens, handle it in
the same way you
handle the
lens
with care to dust, dirt and scratches. Normally,
attaching two
or
more
filters
on a
lens does more harm than good. However, attaching a
circular polarizing filter
and another filter
is not a
problem.
•
Use a
circular polarizing filter
with an autofocus camera for proper exposure and
autofocusing.
Attaching the 30.5mm
filter
to the DA
40mm
f/2.8 Limited lens
Normally,
you attach
the
49mm filter to the front of the

But you can
also
screw a
30.5mm filter
to the
back
of the dedicated hood.

Circular polarizing
filters
and vignetting
Circular
polarizing filters are thicker than
regular filters.
Depending on the lens that is
mounted and the shooting conditions, vignetting may occur in the four corners of the image.
Refer to the "Compatibility
table for
PENT
AX circular polarizing filters"
on the
following page
for information on compatibility of PENTAX circular polarizing
filters
(currently not in
production) with various lenses.
There are two types of PENTAX circular polarizing filters.
The A type (on the left
in the diagram below) and the 8 type (on the right in the diagram
below). The 8 type filter is thinner than the A type filter.

Built-in Flash
The built-in flash can not be used when the distance is less than 0. 7m. 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 42 for
information on the compatibility of the built-in flash with the lens being used.
External Flash
The external flash can be used while the lens hood is attached. However, the following
conditions apply to some types of lenses.

The AF540FGZ and AF360FGZ external flash units can only be used when the wide-angle

recommended because their coverage angle is not compatible with the angle of view of the
lens.

[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.
