The picture may have some distortion (typical example: vertical straight line bent outwards). This is due to the lens aberration, which is common to some extent with all photographic lenses. Distortion may be more visible when using a wider area of the zoom lens as you get closer to the subject.

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.

If you use the zoom function after focusing on the subject, focus on the subject again.

The indicated zoom magnification is an approximation.

When you rotate the zoom ring, you may hear some sound from the camera or the camera may be shaken. This is not a malfunction.
