Not quite right Tim. You preset focus as follows; slide the signal selector switch to the ((�)) mark. Focus the desired point and take your finger OFF the shutter release. Pull the focus preset switch back to the "set" position, the beeper sounds to indicate it is in memory. to turn the beeper off move the signal selector switch away from the ((�)) position. The instructions for the lens can be obtained from Robert Scott via their web site. Mine cost the princely sum of �2.97 * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
