- 1 x Front Lens Cap

Setup and Installation
This lens is designed to screw onto the front filter thread of your existing camera lens. Ensure your camera's lens has a 58mm filter thread for proper compatibility.
- Identify Your Lens Filter Thread Size: Check the front of your camera's lens or its specifications for a "Ø" symbol followed by a number (e.g., Ø58mm). This indicates the filter thread size. This Neewer lens is compatible with 58mm threads.
- Remove Existing Lens Cap: Carefully remove the front lens cap from your camera's primary lens.
- Attach the Wide Angle Lens: Align the Neewer 0.43x wide-angle lens (with the macro portion attached) with the 58mm filter thread on your camera's lens. Gently rotate clockwise until it is securely fastened. Do not overtighten.

Operating Instructions
Using the Wide Angle Function:
With the Neewer 0.43x lens fully assembled and attached to your camera's lens, you can utilize its wide-angle capabilities. This will broaden your field of view, allowing you to capture more of the scene. This is particularly useful for:
- Landscape photography
- Architectural photography
- Group portraits in confined spaces

Using the Macro Function:
To use the macro function, you need to detach the front wide-angle element from the main lens body. The remaining portion is the macro lens.
- Separate the Lens: Hold the Neewer lens firmly. Gently twist the front element (the wider part) counter-clockwise to separate it from the rear element (the narrower part labeled "MACRO").
- Attach Macro Lens: The "MACRO" portion can now be screwed directly onto your camera's 58mm lens filter thread.
- Focusing for Macro: When using the macro lens, you will need to get very close to your subject to achieve focus. Experiment with different distances to find the optimal focus point for intricate details.

Maintenance and Care
- Cleaning: Use a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth specifically designed for optical surfaces to clean the lens elements. For stubborn smudges, use a small amount of lens cleaning solution applied to the cloth, not directly to the lens.
- Storage: Always keep the front and rear lens caps on when the lens is not in use. Store the lens in its protective pouch in a dry, dust-free environment.
- Handling: Avoid touching the glass elements with your fingers. Handle the lens by its barrel.
- Extreme Conditions: Do not expose the lens to extreme temperatures, humidity, or direct sunlight for prolonged periods.
Troubleshooting
- Vignetting (Dark Corners): This can occur with some wide-angle attachments, especially at the widest focal lengths of your primary lens. Try zooming in slightly with your primary lens or cropping in post-processing.
- Soft Focus / Blurry Images:
- Ensure the Neewer lens is securely attached to your camera's lens.
- For macro photography, ensure you are within the very close focusing distance required by the macro element.
- Check that your camera's autofocus is functioning correctly or try manual focus.
- Lens Not Attaching: Verify that your camera's primary lens has a 58mm filter thread. If it's a different size, an adapter ring (not included) would be required.
