4. Operating Instructions

Achieving Macro Focus:

• With Diffuser: If using the diffuser, directly place the lens on the surface of the subject you wish to photograph. The diffuser ensures even illumination.
• Without Diffuser: If not using the diffuser, maintain a distance of approximately 15mm (0.6 inches) between the lens and the subject for optimal focus.

Camera Settings for Optimal Results:

For the best image quality, it is recommended to shoot at 1x zoom on your smartphone's camera. Disable any built-in macro modes and avoid using other digital zoom levels when the NEEWER 10X Macro Lens is attached.

6. Troubleshooting

Vignetting (Dark Corners) Occurs:

Vignetting, or dark corners in your images, may occur depending on the specific phone model and camera settings. If you experience vignetting:

• Ensure the lens is securely tightened onto the phone clip or threaded mount.
• Adjust the camera magnification to 1.1x or more within your phone's camera app. This slight zoom can often eliminate the dark edges.
