Istruzzjonijiet Operattivi
This is a manual focus lens. Follow these guidelines for operation:
- Modalità Kamera: Turn your camera on and switch it to Modalità Manwali (M). This lens does not have electronic contacts for autofocus or automatic aperture control.
- Neħħi l-Għatu tal-Lenti: Remove the front lens cap before use.
- Adjust Focal Length: The lens features a push/pull zoom mechanism. Extend or retract the lens barrel to adjust the focal length between 420mm and 800mm.
- Focus Manually: Rotate the focus ring on the lens barrel until your subject appears sharp in the viewfinder or on your camera's LCD screen. Utilize your camera's focus peaking or magnification assist features if available.
- Issettjar tal-Espożizzjoni: Since the lens does not communicate aperture information to the camera, you will need to set exposure manually. Adjust your camera's shutter speed and ISO to achieve the desired exposure. The lens operates at a fixed aperture of f/8.3 at 420mm, which changes as you zoom towards 800mm (e.g., f/16 at 800mm).

Important Note on Metering: Depending on your camera model, automatic light metering may not function with this lens. You may need to use an external light meter or rely on trial-and-error with your camera's display to achieve correct exposure.
Manutenzjoni
- Tindif tal-Lenti: Use a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth specifically designed for optics to clean the lens elements. For stubborn smudges, use a small amount of lens cleaning fluid applied to the cloth, not directly to the lens. Avoid touching the glass surfaces with your fingers.
- Tindif tal-ġisem: Wipe the lens body with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or solvents.
- Ħażna: When not in use, always attach both the front and rear lens caps. Store the lens in its provided soft carrying bag in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid areas with high humidity to prevent mold growth.
