Push the little button on the top, after you have installed the lens. Double check using the ground glass and distance scales on the lens. If this is wrong let me know. Russ

The above is correct, but when you press the button make sure that the lens is focused at infinity (ie, the focus ring is turned all the way so that the infinity sign on the lens barrel is lined up with the focusing mark on the ring).
Hopefully, that will work, but in my experience the infinity adjustment is often out. Maybe I'm just unlucky?
