Learn the proper way to change a camera lens.
Manual focus cameras have the ability to change lenses. The lens locks into the body of the camera allowing the user to focus on an object. Different lenses can create different effects, such as zooming in to a specific magnification. A wide lens can capture an entire landscape. It is best to consult your camera's owner's manual for the exact location of the functions on your specific camera.
Instructions
1. Turn the camera off. Place the lens cover on the lens. Examine the camera body for a small button right near where the lens and body meet. This is the lens release button.
2. Hold the release button in and twist the camera lens counterclockwise until the lens disengages from the camera body. Carefully set the lens aside, cover side down. If you have a protective cover for the back of the lens, screw it on.
3. Align the new lens. There will be a dot on the back of the lens that lines up and matches with a dot on the camera body. Once the two dots are aligned, push the lens in place and twist clockwise. The lens will engage and lock into place.
