Canon 50mm Lens

 

Mounting and Detaching the Lens

  • After detaching the lens, place the lens with the rear end up to prevent the lens surface and electrical contacts from getting scratched.
  • If the contacts get soiled, scratched, or have fingerprints on them, corrosion or faulty connections can result. The camera and lens may not operate properly.
  • If the contacts get soiled or have fingerprints on them, clean them with a soft cloth.
  • If you remove the lens, cover it with the dust cap. To attach it properly, align the lens mount index and the circle index and turn clockwise. To remove it, reverse the order.
