¬Suggestions/Tips ¬

The picture may be slightly distorted according to the lens. The distortion will increase as you make subjects wider and closer.

When using the zoom lens at high magnification, the quality of the picture can be enhanced if a tripod is used. At high magnification, even small movements can cause a slight decrease in picture sharpness.
