Interchangeable Lens Digital Camera ILCE-7M2

Attaching a lens

Set the power switch of the camera to OFF before attaching the lens.

  1. Remove the body cap (A) from the camera and the rear lens cap (B) from the rear of the lens.

    • When changing the lens, work quickly in a dust-free location to keep dust or debris from getting inside the camera.
    • When shooting, remove the front lens cap from the front of the lens.
  2. Mount the lens by aligning the two white index marks (mounting indexes) on the lens and camera.

    • Hold the camera with the lens facing down to prevent dust and debris from entering the camera.
  3. While pushing the lens lightly toward the camera, turn the lens slowly in the direction of the arrow until it clicks into the locked position.

    • Be sure to hold the lens straight when attaching it.
