4. Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your lens.

Care Instructions:

• Cleaning: Use a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth specifically designed for optical lenses to clean the glass surfaces. For stubborn smudges, a small amount of lens cleaning solution can be applied to the cloth, not directly to the lens.
• Dust Protection: Keep the lens covered with a cap when not in use or during storage to prevent dust accumulation.
• Handling: Avoid touching the glass elements directly with your fingers, as oils can leave residues.
• Storage: Store the lens in a dry, cool environment, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

5. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Quanmin lens, consider the following common solutions:

Common Issues and Solutions:

• Blurry Image:
  • Solution: Manually adjust the lens focus by gently rotating the lens barrel until the image becomes clear. This is the most common reason for blurriness after installation.
  • Solution: Ensure the lens is screwed in completely and securely into the camera's M12 mount.
  • Solution: Check for smudges or dust on the lens surface and clean as per maintenance instructions.
• Limited Field of View:
