Your VIV-35MM-S lens is uniquely designed for Sony Alpha digital SLR cameras.  
Attaching Your Lens to Your Camera  
Hold the hood of the lens gently, and align the depth of field scale of the lens with the lens  
attachment reference point on of the camera. Next, push the lens into the camera and turn the  
lens carefully until it makes a clicking sound, and the depth of field scale is positioned on the  
upper part of the camera.  
Detaching Your Lens from Your Camera  
Hold the hood of the lens gently, and press the lens release button on the camera.  
Turn the lens in the opposite direction as when attaching, and carefully pull it out.

Focus Adjustment  
You can adjust the focus of the subject you are photographing by turning the focusing  
ring on your lens, as it is an MF (manual focus) adjustment lens. To do so,  
please follow the steps below:  
1. When focusing on a subject from a long distance, turn the focus ring to the right  
(1 to ∞) and focus on the clearest subject by using the indication signal on the camera or  
by checking visually.  
2. When focusing on a subject from a short distance, turn the focus ring to the left  
(∞ to 1) and focus on the clearest subject by using the indication signal on the camera or  
by checking visually.

Brightness Control  
You can set the amount of brightness you want by turning the aperture adjustment ring when  
using your lens.  
[Aperture adjustment ring markings]  
When you turn the aperture adjustment ring between 22, 16, 11, 8, 5.6, 4, 2.8, 2 and 1.4 you are  
making 1 stop each turn.  
5.6 and 8 are 1 stop apart (1EV).

Camera Settings  
Some cameras require special settings when using this lens. Please read the information  
below and set your camera accordingly.  
The aperture of this 35mm High Speed Aspherical Lens supports a maximum brightness of  
F1.4.  
If you take a photo outdoors where there is a great deal of sunlight, you may not get a  
clear image as the subject you are photographing may be too bright. In such an instance,  
adjust the brightness to an appropriate level then take the photo.  
Since the depth of field becomes very shallow at F1.4, if the subject is not focused correctly  
you may get an unclear image . Therefore, to get a clear image, focus the subject correctly  
and then take a photo.  
If the brightness (F number) is set to 8 or larger, you may not be able to set the correct focus  
due to a difficulty in viewing the subject through the camera viewfinder. Turn the aperture  
adjustment ring so it is fully open when attaching the lens to the camera. Then turn the aperture  
adjustment ring again to set the depth of focus and brightness you want prior to shooting.

Camera Settings (continued)  
1. Set the camera mode dial to ‘M’ 2. Adjust the shutter speed to achieve the appropriate  
brightness.  
(The camera settings discussed apply to the Alpha 350 camera. Settings for the camera  
or the menu may be changed depending on the model or due to a menu upgrade. Refer  
to your camera manual or contact the camera manufacturer for more detailed informa-  
tion.)

Mounting the Hood  
The hood has a bayonet system, which  
guarantees speedy, efficient, safe and precise  
installation and will help you take shots that are  
free of flaring and ghosting. Allign the  
attachment reference point on the hood with the  
reference point on the lens. Push the hood  
onto the lens and turn the hood to the right until  
it makes a clicking sound.
