2.3 Camera Compatibility and AF Engagement

This lens is compatible with Nikon F-mount cameras. For autofocus functionality, your camera body must have a built-in autofocus motor. Without an AF motor in the camera body, the lens will operate in manual focus mode only.

To enable autofocus and allow the camera to control the aperture, the aperture ring on the lens must be set to its minimum aperture (f/32) and locked in that position. Failure to do so may result in an AF error or prevent the shutter from releasing.

3. Operando a Lente

3.1 Focalização

• Foco automático (AF): When the lens aperture ring is set to f/32 and locked, and the camera body has an AF motor, the camera will control focusing. The outer ring of the lens may move during autofocus operation.
• Foco manual (MF): To focus manually, set the camera to manual focus mode. Rotate the focusing ring on the lens barrel until the subject appears sharp in the viewlocalizador.

3.2 Zoom

To change the focal length, rotate the zoom ring on the lens barrel. The lens maintains its physical length during zooming and does not change focus when the focal length is adjusted.

3.3 Controle de Abertura

This lens features a constant maximum aperture of f/4.0. When the aperture ring is locked at f/32, the camera body controls the aperture setting. Adjust the aperture through your camera's settings.

4. Manutenção

4.1 Limpeza da Lente

• Utilize um pincel com soprador para remover a poeira da superfície da lente.
• For smudges or fingerprints, apply a small amount of lens cleaning fluid to a clean microfiber cloth and gently wipe the lens in a circular motion.
• Evite tocar diretamente nas lentes com os dedos.
• Não utilize solventes orgânicos, como diluente de tinta ou benzeno, para limpar a lente.

4.2 Armazenamento

• When not in use, attach the front and rear lens caps.
• Guarde a lente em local fresco e seco, longe da luz solar direta e de temperaturas extremas.
• If storing for an extended period, place the lens in a sealed container with a desiccant to prevent mold and mildew.

5. Solução De Problemas

  • Verify proper focus.
  • Some optical characteristics, such as slight chromatic aberration or unique bokeh (due to 7-sided diaphragm), are inherent to the lens design.
