Samsung NX, Four Thirds, and Micro Four Thirds cameras.
Hold the lens hood gently and press the lens release button on the camera. Turn the
lens in the opposite direction of the attaching direction to detach the lens.
You can adjust the focus by turning the focusing ring when using the 14mm F2.8 ED

Some cameras require special settings when using this lens.
Please refer to the following and set the camera when necessary.
※ For some Canon cameras, if you set the camera mode dial to Av and set the
brightness by turning the aperture adjustment ring on the lens, the camera
automatically changes the shutter speed. Therefore you don't need to adjust the
shutter speed as well, which is required in M mode.
(The procedures above are for the 40D. The settings for the camera or the menu may vary based
on the model or due to a functional upgrade. Refer to the camera instruction manual or contact the
camera manufacturer for detailed information.)
※ If the release lock is disengaged in the above way, the state of disengagement is
maintained even though the main switch is turned off. If you want to enable the
release lock function, perform the above procedure again.
※ For some Samsung NX cameras, if you set the camera mode dial to A and set the
brightness by turning the aperture adjustment ring on the lens, the camera
automatically changes the shutter speed. Therefore you don't need to adjust the
shutter speed as well, which is required in M mode.

1. It compensates for aberrations by using a complex aspherical and glass aspherical
lens and, at the fully opened position, produces high resolution and high contrast at
the center of the lens as well as around the periphery.
2. Controls chromatic aberratio n optimally by using premium optical glass with high
refraction and extra-low dispersion.
3. Allows precision focus control by providing a soft and wide focus operation area.
4. Ultra multi coating design for optimum suppression of ghost images and vivid color
5. Maintains an unchanged size with its inner focus design.
