The distance encoder allows more accurate measurement (ADI) by using a flash for ADI. Depending on the lens mechanism, the focal length may change with any change of the shooting distance. The focal length assumes the lens is focused at infinity.Included itemsDT 50mm F1.8 SAM/DT 30mm F2.8 Macro SAM: Lens (1), Front lens cap (1), Rear lens cap (1), Set of printed documentationDesign and specifications are subject to change without notice.is a trademark of Sony Corporation.–1(1) (2)–2DT 30mm F2.8 Macro SAM FocusingWhen using auto focus, the camera adjusts the focus automatically. While the camera is focusing automatically, do not touch the rotating focusingring. The camera’s direct manual focus function cannot be used with this lens.

If your camerahas this function, this restriction is explained in the section on focusing, in yourcamera’s instruction manual).In MF (Manual Focus) mode, rotate the focusing ring while looking throughthe viewfinder to focus. (See illustration .) The focus signal in the viewfinder indicates the current degree of focusing.To switch AF (Auto Focus)/MF (Manual Focus) modeYou can switch between AF (automatic focus) and MF (manual focus) withthe focusing mode switch on the lens. Make sure to set the focusing modeswitch (lever) on the camera to AF. Make sure to set the focusing mode switch to MF for manual focus. Do notrotate the focusing ring without setting to MF. Rotating the focusing ringforcibly without switching to MF may damage the focusing ring.To shoot a subject at infinite distance in MF modeThe infinity position provides for some adjustment to compensate for focusshift caused by change in temperature. To shoot a subject at infinite distancein MF mode, use the viewfinder and set focus.
