$Macro focusing ring (for close-up shooting)

By rotating this ring in the direction of the arrow, close-up shooting of very small objects becomes possible.

Normal focus adjustment and zooming are not available in the macro mode.

CAUTION:

The back-focus knob is located close to the macro ring, be careful not to mistake the back-focus knob for the macro ring.

After the required operation, be sure to return the macro focusing ring to the normal position.
