4.1 Anbringen des Objektivs

  1. Stellen Sie sicher, dass Ihre Kamera ausgeschaltet ist.
  2. Entfernen Sie den hinteren Objektivdeckel und den Gehäusedeckel der Kamera.
  3. Richten Sie den roten Punkt auf der Linse auf den roten Punkt am Objektivanschluss Ihrer Kamera aus.
  4. Setzen Sie das Objektiv in die Kamerafassung ein und drehen Sie es im Uhrzeigersinn, bis es einrastet.
  5. Attach the front lens cap when not in use.

4.2 Abnehmen des Objektivs

  1. Stellen Sie sicher, dass Ihre Kamera ausgeschaltet ist.
  2. Press and hold the lens release button on your camera body.
  3. Rotate the lens counter-clockwise until it detaches from the camera body.

5. Bedienung des Objektivs

5.1 Manueller Fokus

This is a manual focus lens. To achieve sharp focus, rotate the focus ring on the lens barrel until your subject appears clear in the viewfinder or on the LCD screen. Many modern mirrorless cameras offer focus peaking and magnification assist features to aid in precise manual focusing.

5.2 Blendensteuerung

The lens features a manual aperture ring. Rotate the aperture ring to select your desired f-stop (from F2.8 to F16). A wider aperture (smaller f-number) allows more light and creates a shallower depth of field, ideal for subject isolation. A narrower aperture (larger f-number) allows less light and creates a deeper depth of field, suitable for landscapes or group shots.

5.3 Makrofotografie

The 1:1 magnification ratio makes this lens excellent for macro photography. When shooting macro, precise focusing is crucial. Consider using a tripod to minimize camera shake and ensure sharp images. Experiment with different apertures to control the depth of field, as macro photography often results in very shallow depth of field.
