While pressing the lens release button,

Turn the lens until the red dot is at the top, then
detach the lens.

Since the EOS 10D’s image coverage is smaller than the
normal 35mm film format, the EF lens attached to the
camera will have a telephoto effect equivalent to 1.6 times
of the marked focal length.
•
AF stands for autofocus.
•
MF or M stands for manual focus.
•
Be careful not to lose the lens caps or body cap.
