7. Picture Taking

Normal Photography

The lens can be used as a telephoto lens for normal photography.

Closeup Photography

Close-up photos (minimum focusing distance of 0.48m) up to 1x (life-size) magnification are possible. The minimum focusing distance is the distance from the subject to the film plane. The distance from the front of the lens to the subject (working distance) is about 0.25m.

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.

• Image quality deteriorates near the minimum aperture opening due to diffraction.

•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.
