The NEEWER HD 65mm Telephoto Lens is designed for use with phone cages, cases, and backplates that feature a 17mm threaded lens mount. Ensure your phone accessory has this specific thread size for proper attachment.
- Align the 17mm thread of the telephoto lens with the corresponding thread on your phone's main camera lens backplate (part of your phone cage or case).

Operating Instructions
Using the Telephoto Lens
The 65mm telephoto lens provides 1.7x magnification, allowing you to capture subjects that are further away with enhanced detail.
- Once the lens is securely attached, open your phone's camera application.
- For optimal image clarity and to avoid digital zoom artifacts, ensure your phone's camera is set to its 1x zoom setting. Avoid using other digital zoom levels when the telephoto lens is attached.
- Disable any macro mode settings on your phone's camera, as this lens is designed for telephoto use.

Using Filters
The lens features a standard 58mm front thread, allowing you to attach various 58mm filters (sold separately) for creative effects.
- If a lens hood is attached, remove it first.
- Align the threads of your 58mm filter (e.g., ND, CPL, UV) with the front thread of the telephoto lens.
- Screw the filter clockwise until it is securely attached.
- Note: Avoid using excessively thick filters to prevent vignetting (darkening of image corners).
