Turn the tripod collar’s lock
nut to loosen.
Align the tripod collar’s red
dot with the lens mount
index, then pull the tripod
collar as shown by the
arrow.

To compensate for shifts in the
lens’ infinity position on the
distance scale due to temperature
changes, the focusing ring can be
turned slightly beyond the normal
infinity position. In room
temperature, the infinity position
on the distance scale is indicated
by the L symbol which should be
aligned with the distance scale
index.
To confirm accurate focus, look
through the viewfinder.
