Part I: Fast Track to Super Snaps
4. Hold the lens in front of the
camera so that the little red
dot on the lens aligns with the
matching dot on the camera
body.
Official photography lingo uses
the term
mounting index
instead
of
little red dot.
Either way, you
can see the markings in ques-
tion in Figure 1-5.
Again, the figure (and others in
this book) shows you the E-PL1
with the Olympus 14–42mm
M.Zuiko Digital lens. Assuming
that you stick with Micro Four
Thirds lenses, other lenses
should work and look much the
same, but if you have any ques-
tions, consult the lens manual.
5. Keeping the dots aligned,
position the lens on the camera’s lens mount.
6. Turn the lens in a clockwise direction until the lens clicks into place.
In other words, turn the lens away
from the shutter button side of
the body, as indicated by the
red arrow in the figure.
To detach a lens, take these steps:
1. Turn off the camera.
2. Locate the lens-release button,
labeled in Figure 1-6.
3. Press the button while turning
the lens counterclockwise until
the lens disengages from the
lens mount.
4. After removing the lens, pro-
tect it by placing the rear pro-
tective cap onto the back of
the lens.
If you aren’t putting another lens
on the camera, cover the lens
mount with the protective cap
that came with your camera, too.
