MACRO SWITCHOVER MECHANISM
The model 572D allows macro photography by operating the macro selector switch. The maximum magnification ratio in the macro photography mode is 1:2 (f = 300 mm, 0.95m).
It is necessary that the zoom be aligned to
SWITCHING TO MACRO PHOTOGRAPHY
First, turn the zoom ring to align the zoom between 180 and 300mm. Next, slide the macro selector switch from the Normal to the Macro position. The lens is now switched to the macro photography mode.
When in the macro photography mode, the focus ring rotates continuously from infinity to the minimum focus distance of 0.95m. The magnification ratio reaches a maxi- mum when the focus distance is 0.95 m at 300 mm. The magnification ratio at this time is 1:2.
When in the macro photography mode, the zoom ring can only be rotated over the range of 180mm and 300mm. Angle of view can only be adjusted over the range of 180mm to 300mm when in the macro photography mode.
The macro selector switch cannot be operated unless the zoom ring is between 180mm and 300mm. Always make sure to align the zoom ring between 180mm and 300mm before operating the macro selector switch.
CANCELLATION OF MACRO PHOTOGRAPHY
First check that the focus ring is aligned to 1.5m or farther (1.5 - infinity). (Turn the focus ring to 1.5m or farther when it is set to a distance closer than 1.5m). Next, slide the macro selector switch from the Macro position to the Normal position. The macro photography mode is now cancelled.
The focus ring can only be turned between infinity and 1.5m when the macro selector switch is set to the Normal position (when macro photography is cancelled.) It cannot be turned to a distance closer than 1.5m.
The macro selector switch cannot be operated unless the focus ring is set to a dis- tance between 1.5m and infinity. Always make sure to set the focus ring between 1.5m and infinity before operating the macro selector switch.
