Quick Guide for Sony E PZ 16-50mm F3.5-5.6 OSS II

This guide provides essential information for operating your Sony E-mount lens. Always refer to the separate "Precautions before using" document for general safety information before using this lens.

Notes on Use

• Sunlight: Do not leave the lens exposed to the sun or bright light sources, as this may cause internal malfunction, smoke, or fire due to light focusing.
• Handling: A rattling sound when shaking the lens or camera is normal and does not indicate a malfunction.
• Video Recording: Zoom operation sounds may be recorded during video shooting. Use the zoom lever to minimize noise.
• Flash Usage: If the lens blocks the flash, causing a shadow at the bottom of the image, adjust the focal length or shooting distance.
• Vignetting: If screen corners appear darker than the center, close the aperture by 1 to 2 stops.

Identifying Parts

The lens features the following controls:

• Zoom/Focus ring: Used for manual zooming or focusing.
• Zoom lever: Used for power zooming.
• Mounting index: Used for aligning the lens with the camera body.
• Lens contacts: Do not touch these.

Attaching and Detaching the Lens

Always hold the lens by its mounting body, not by the zoom/focus ring or other controls.

Attaching

1. Remove the rear lens cap and the camera body cap.
2. Align the white index on the lens barrel with the white index on the camera mount.
3. Insert the lens into the camera mount and rotate it clockwise until it locks. Do not press the lens release button while mounting.
4. Remove the front lens cap.

Detaching

1. Attach the front lens cap.
2. While holding down the lens release button on the camera, rotate the lens counterclockwise until it stops, then detach it.

Zooming

You can zoom using two methods:

• Zoom lever: Slide the lever to the desired focal length. Move it with your finger lightly to prevent wrong operation.
• Zoom/Focus ring: Rotate the ring to the desired focal length. This is recommended for muting operation noise during video recording.

Focusing

The lens supports three focusing methods:

• Auto focus: Press the shutter button halfway down.
• DMF (Direct manual focus): After auto-focusing, rotate the zoom/focus ring to fine-tune the focus.
• Manual focus: Rotate the zoom/focus ring to focus manually.
