4.1 Fokus Manwali

This is a manual focus lens. To focus, rotate the focus ring on the lens barrel until your subject appears sharp in the viewfinder or on your camera's LCD screen. For critical focus, especially in macro photography, use your camera's focus peaking or magnification assist features.

4.2 Kontroll tal-Apertura

The lens features a de-clicked aperture ring, allowing for smooth and silent aperture adjustments. Rotate the aperture ring to select your desired f-stop (F2.8 to F22). The de-clicked design is particularly beneficial for video recording, preventing audible clicks during aperture changes.

4.3 Macro Photography Tips

• Distanza tax-Xogħol: The closest focus distance of 26cm (10.2 inches) provides ample space between the lens and your subject, allowing for better lighting and easier manipulation of the subject.
• Detachable Front Barrel: For specific shooting scenarios, such as underwater photography, the front barrel of the lens can be detached. This feature helps to avoid disturbances and reflections from the water surface.
• Veloċità tax-Shutter: Macro photography often requires faster shutter speeds to freeze motion and compensate for camera shake. Using a tripod is highly recommended to achieve sharp images, especially at high magnifications.
• Fond tal-Qasam: At macro magnifications, the depth of field is very shallow. Adjust your aperture carefully to control the area of sharpness.
