5. Picture Taking

Normal Photography

The lens can be used as a medium-telephoto lens for normal photography such as portraits.

Closeup Photography

Close-up photos up to 1x (life-size) magnification are possible. The minimum focusing distance of 31 cm is the distance from the subject to the focal plane. The working distance from the front of the lens to the subject is about 15 cm.

When focusing, you can give priority to framing or to magnification.
[Framing Priority]

While looking through the viewfinder and framing the subject, focus with the AF or MF mode.

[Magnification Priority]
1.Set the lens' focus mode switch to MF.
2.Set the magnification.

While referring to the magnification scale on the lens, turn the focusing ring to the desired magnification.

3.Focus the subject.

While looking through the viewfinder, move the camera forward or back to find the point of focus.

4.Touch up the focus.
Turn the focusing ring for fine focusing.

Since macro shots have a very shallow depth of field, focus carefully to obtain proper sharpness.

• The magnification refers to the ratio between the subject’s size and the corresponding image size on the focal plane. On the distance index, it is indicated as 1:x.

•To prevent camera shake, using a Remote Switch (both sold separately) and tripod is recommended.

•To check the depth of field, press the camera's depth-of-field preview button.
