3. Mengendalikan Lensa

3.1 Memberi tumpuan

This lens features a Hyper-Sonic Motor (HSM) for fast and quiet autofocus. It also allows for full-time manual focus override.

• Autofokus (AF): Set the AF/MF switch on your camera body to 'AF'. The lens will automatically focus when the shutter button is half-pressed.
• Fokus Manual (MF): Set the AF/MF switch on your camera body to 'MF'. Rotate the focus ring on the lens barrel to adjust focus manually. Even in AF mode, you can fine-tune focus by rotating the focus ring after autofocus has been achieved.

3.2 Mengezum

To change the focal length, rotate the zoom ring on the lens barrel. The lens offers a focal range from 10mm (ultra-wide) to 20mm (wide-angle). The aperture will vary between f/4 at 10mm and f/5.6 at 20mm.

3.3 Using Filters

The lens has a filter thread at the front. Due to its internal focusing system, the front element does not rotate, making it convenient to use polarizing filters or other special effect filters. Ensure the filter size matches the lens's filter thread diameter.

4. Penyelenggaraan

4.1 Membersihkan Lensa

• Use a blower brush to remove dust and loose particles from the lens surfaces.
• For smudges or fingerprints, apply a small amount of lens cleaning solution to a clean microfiber cloth and gently wipe the lens in a circular motion from the center outwards.
• Jangan sekali-kali menggunakan bahan yang kasar atau bahan kimia yang keras.

4.2 Penyimpanan

• Sentiasa pasangkan penutup kanta hadapan dan belakang apabila kanta tidak digunakan.
• Simpan kanta di tempat yang sejuk dan kering, jauh dari cahaya matahari langsung dan suhu yang melampau.
• Jika menyimpan untuk tempoh yang lama, pertimbangkan untuk menggunakan agen penyahlembapan untuk mencegah pertumbuhan kulat.

4.3 Langkah Berjaga-jaga Pengendalian

• Avoid exposing the lens to water or excessive humidity.
• Jangan jatuhkan atau tertakluk kepada hentaman kuat pada kanta.
• Do not attempt to disassemble the lens, as this will void the warranty.

5. Penyelesaian masalah

5.1 Autofokus Tidak Berfungsi

• Check if the AF/MF switch on your camera body is set to 'AF'.
• Ensure there is sufficient light and contrast in the scene for the autofocus system to operate effectively.
• Clean the electrical contacts on both the lens and the camera body with a clean, dry cloth.

5.2 Image Quality Issues (e.g., blurry images)

• Pastikan kanta dipasang dengan kukuh pada badan kamera.
• Check your camera's shutter speed and aperture settings. A slow shutter speed can cause motion blur, and an incorrect aperture can lead to out-of-focus areas.
• Pastikan elemen kanta bersih dan bebas daripada comot atau habuk.
• If using manual focus, confirm that the subject is sharply focused.

5.3 Lens Not Recognized by Camera

• Remove the lens and reattach it, ensuring it clicks firmly into place.
