to a selected aperture by pressing the aperture stop-down
button. Pressing the button again fully opens the aperture.
Whether the aperture is stopped down or not, check the camera
viewfinder, or check the diaphragm from the front of the lens.

(maximum aperture) before shooting. When the lens power or
the camera is turned off by auto meter off function after
stopping down the lens aperture by pressing the aperture stop-
down button, the aperture stop-down is cancelled and the
diaphragm blades fully open to the maximum aperture.
