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.

  1. If a lens hood is attached, remove it first.
  2. Align the threads of your 58mm filter (e.g., ND, CPL, UV) with the front thread of the telephoto lens.
  3. Screw the filter clockwise until it is securely attached.
  4. Note: Avoid using excessively thick filters to prevent vignetting (darkening of image corners).
