3. Align the mounting index mark on the lens barrel with the corresponding index mark on your camera's lens mount.
4. Insert the lens into the camera mount and rotate it clockwise (for Canon EF mount) until it clicks into place. Do not force the lens.
5. To remove the lens, press the lens release button on your camera body and rotate the lens counter-clockwise until it detaches.

4. Bedienung des Objektivs

4.1 Fokussierung

• Autofokus (AF): Set your camera's focus mode to AF. The lens will automatically focus when the shutter button is half-pressed.
• Manueller Fokus (MF): Set your camera's focus mode to MF. Rotate the focus ring on the lens barrel to adjust focus manually.

4.2 Zoomen

Rotate the zoom ring on the lens barrel to change the focal length. The lens covers a range from 28mm (wide-angle) to 200mm (telephoto).

4.3 Using the Zoom Lock Switch

The zoom lock switch is located on the lens barrel. When the lens is set to 28mm, slide the switch to the 'LOCK' position to prevent the lens from extending due to its own weight, especially when carrying the camera.

4.4 Makrofotografie

This lens offers macro capabilities, allowing for close-up photography with a maximum magnification of 1:3.8 at the 200mm focal length. To achieve macro shots, zoom to 200mm and focus on your subject at the closest possible distance.

5. Wartung und Pflege

5.1 Reinigung der Linse

• Verwenden Sie einen Blasebalg, um Staub von den Linsenoberflächen zu entfernen.
• For smudges or fingerprints, use a clean, soft microfiber cloth specifically designed for optical lenses, along with a small amount of lens cleaning solution. Apply the solution to the cloth, not directly to the lens.
• Vermeiden Sie es, die Linsenelemente mit den Fingern zu berühren.

5.2 Speicherung

• Bringen Sie immer die vorderen und hinteren Objektivdeckel an, wenn das Objektiv nicht benutzt wird.
• Bewahren Sie das Objektiv an einem kühlen, trockenen Ort, fern von direkter Sonneneinstrahlung und extremen Temperaturen auf.
• If storing for an extended period, consider using a dehumidifying cabinet or silica gel packets to prevent mold growth.

5.3 Vorsichtsmaßnahmen bei der Handhabung

• Vermeiden Sie es, die Linse plötzlichen Temperaturschwankungen auszusetzen, da diese zu Kondensation führen können.
• Das Objektiv darf nicht fallen gelassen oder starken Stößen ausgesetzt werden.
• Halten Sie die Linse von Wasser und Feuchtigkeit fern.

6. Fehlerbehebung

Sollten Sie Probleme mit Ihrem Objektiv haben, beachten Sie bitte die folgenden gängigen Lösungsansätze:

• Linse fokussiert nicht: Ensure the camera's focus mode is set correctly (AF/MF). Check if the lens is securely mounted. Clean the electrical contacts on both the lens and camera body.
• Die Bilder sind unscharf: Verify that the lens is clean. Check your camera's shutter speed and aperture settings. Ensure the lens is properly focused.
• Der Zoomring ist schwergängig oder locker: The zoom lock switch should only be used at 28mm. If the zoom ring feels unusual, avoid forcing it and contact customer support.
• Objektiv wird von der Kamera nicht erkannt: Turn off the camera, remove and reattach the lens, then restart the camera. Ensure camera firmware is up to date.
