4. Shift Function
Shifting moves the optical axis of the lens in parallel off the center of the imaging plane.
Shift can be used to good effect in the situations shown below.
●If you photograph a subject such as a
building with a normal lens, the top of
the building tapers away. But by placing
the camera parallel to the building and
shifting the lens, you can correct this
tapering effect.●When you are shooting a reflective
subject, you can move the camera to a
position where the camera does not...

5. Rotation
The rotation function enables you to change the direction of tilt or
shift by rotating the tilt-shift mechanism.
With the lens mounted on the camera, push the rotation lock release
button towards the mount and then turn the tilt-shift mechanism.
●The rotation mechanism can be rotated through ±90°. The lens clicks every
30° and locks in place in the 90° position.
●When rotating the lens, set the tilt and shift scales to the “0” p\
osition.
● Note that rotating the tilt-shift mechanism...

Changing the Operation Direction of Tilt and Shift (TS rotation Function)
When the tilt and shift are used in a parallel direction,
vignetting will occur in the areas marked in gray in the 
following table.
In order to prevent shifts in position while shooting, shooting
while TS rotation is locked, or shooting per click position is
recommended.
By using the TS rotation function, 
the relationship of the tilt and shift’s
operation direction can switch from
right angle to parallel.
Press the TS...

ENG-15
The depth of field is the distance in front of and
behind the plane of focus on the subject that
appears sharp. The depth of field is indicated by
the area between the depth-of-field scale lines
below the distance scale. 
The infrared index corrects the focus setting
when using monochrome infrared film. Focus on
the subject in MF, then adjust the distance
setting by moving the focusing ring to the
corresponding infrared index mark.

8.TS-E Tripod  Adapter (Sold Separately)9. Exposure
With some camera models, the tilt, shift and
rotation functions cannot be used when the
camera is mounted directly on a tripod. When
this happens, fit the optional TS-E tripod adapter
into the tripod mount socket on the camera
before mounting the camera on the tripod.Shots can be taken using AE (automatic
exposure) as long as the tilt and shift scales are
set to the “0” position.
The use of AE is not recommended when the
lens is tilted or shifted...

To   attach the hood, align the hood’s attachment
position mark with the red dot on the front of the lens,
then turn the hood as shown by the arrow until the lens’
red dot is aligned with the hood’s stop position mark.
The hood can be reverse-mounted on the lens for
storage.
When attaching or detaching the hood, grasp the base of the hood to turn\
 it....

point that results from changes in temperature.
The infinity position at normal temperature is the
point at which the vertical line of the L mark is...
