Change the Electronic Serial Number in the Lens

Lens ID Number

  • This is an internal factory-assigned serial number. This normally will not match the serial number printed on the lens. There is no reason to change this number, it's used primarily for factory reference.

 

 

Lens Body Number

  • This is the electronic serial number of the lens and should match the number printed on the lens body.

⚠️ Not all lenses include an electronic serial number. If your lens does not have one, the 'Lens Body Number' field will not appear in this Menu window.

 

 

Change

  • Click ‘Change’ to update the electronic serial number so it matches the number printed on the lens body, if needed.
