 Lenses come in
two connecting types, screw mounts
and bayonet. Screw mounts are the
older of the two and are not
generally used today. They connect
to the camera much like a light
bulb. Bayonets on the other hand
attach by matching the red dot of
the camera with the red dot on the
lens. Insert the lens in the opening
and turn it gently to the right
until you hear a click and feel a
resistance on the lens.
There are five principle types of
lenses, macro, normal, wide angle,
zoom and telephoto. See the
lens chart
to get a brief description of
each. The sources below will give
you an even more in-depth view of
these devices. Read more:
