Caution

When holding or carrying a camera with a lens that is heavier than the camera, support the lens.
Adapters may extend the minimum focusing distance or affect the maximum magnification or shooting range of the lens.
If the front part (focusing ring) of the lens rotates during autofocusing, do not touch the rotating part.
The focus preset and power zoom features of some super telephoto lenses are not supported.
