Olympus lenses, made by Zuiko, offer some of the highest-quality glass in the photo industry. Additionally, since Olympus scrapped its old system when it went digital, the Zuiko lenses have the benefit of being designed to work on Olympus's four-thirds sensor system, so they have almost perfect edge-to-edge color accuracy.
Instructions
1. Select the proper lens for your camera and what you want to shoot. Olympus offers the fastest autofocus system in the world with its 12-60 and 50-200 lenses when they are mounted on an E-3 or E-30 body.
2. Mount the lens to the camera. Look for a red dot on the lens; then line it up with the red dot at the 12 o'clock position on the camera. Insert the lens and twist it clockwise to secure the lens to the camera.
3. Point the lens at what you want to photograph. Adjust the focal length of the lens by rotating the barrel of the lens; rotating it counterclockwise increases focal length (zoom), while rotating it clockwise decreases zoom. Once you have the zoom adjusted where you want it, depress the shutter halfway to engage the autofocus on the camera. When you hear a beep, the object is in focus and you can depress the shutter. You can also focus manually by rotating the smaller barrel near the top of the lens, while looking through the viewfinder of the camera until the object is in focus. Unlike a Nikon or Canon, you do not have to go into a specific manual focus mode on the lens.
4. Remove the lens from the camera by pushing in the button that is located at about 3 o'clock on the camera, and twist the lens counterclockwise while holding in the button.
