Autofocus and Manual Focus

The lens is equipped with an A/M (Autofocus/Manual) switch to easily toggle between focusing modes. Ensure the switch on the lens matches the setting on your camera body to prevent potential damage to the camera's autofocus motor.

• Autofocus (A): Set the A/M switch to 'A' for automatic focusing. This lens provides quick and accurate autofocus, making it effective for capturing fast-moving subjects.
• Fokus Manual (M): Set the A/M switch to 'M' to manually adjust focus using the focus ring on the lens.

Kawalan Aperture

The lens features a fast maximum aperture of f/2.8, allowing for excellent low-light performance and creative depth-of-field control. The aperture can be controlled via the camera body or, if supported by your camera, using the aperture ring on the lens. For most modern Nikon DSLRs, it is recommended to set the aperture ring to its minimum aperture (f/22) and control the aperture from the camera body.

Using the Built-in Lens Hood

The lens includes a convenient built-in collapsible lens hood. Extend the hood by pulling it forward until it locks into place to reduce lens flare and provide physical protection to the front element. Retract it by pushing it back for compact storage.

Membersihkan Lensa

To maintain optical quality, keep the lens elements clean. Use a soft, lint-free cloth or a lens brush to remove dust. For smudges or fingerprints, apply a small amount of lens cleaning fluid to a clean lens cloth and gently wipe the surface in a circular motion. Avoid touching the glass elements directly with your fingers.

Penyimpanan

When not in use, store the lens with both front and rear caps attached in its CL-38 hard lens case or a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid storing the lens in areas with high humidity to prevent mold growth.
