4. Betjening af objektivet

4.1 Autofocus (PZD - Piezo Drive)

The PZD (Piezo Drive) is an ultrasonic autofocus motor that provides faster, quieter, and more precise focusing. To use autofocus, set the AF/MF switch on the lens barrel to 'AF'. The camera will then control the focus automatically.

4.2 Manuel fokus

For manual focusing, set the AF/MF switch on the lens barrel to 'MF'. Rotate the focus ring to achieve desired sharpness. The Internal Focusing (IF) system ensures the lens length does not change during focusing, and allows for a closer minimum focusing distance.

4.3 Zoomning

To adjust the focal length, rotate the zoom ring on the lens barrel. The 18-270mm range (28-419mm equivalent on APS-C) allows for wide-angle to telephoto shots.

4.4 Vibrationskompensation (VC)

The Vibration Compensation (VC) system helps to reduce blur caused by camera shake, especially useful in low light conditions or when shooting at longer focal lengths. Activate the VC function using the dedicated switch on the lens barrel. The VC mechanism employs a three-coil system for smooth and quiet operation.

4.5 Zoom Lock (ZL)

The Zoom Lock (ZL) switch prevents the lens barrel from extending unintentionally when carrying the camera, ensuring the lens remains compact and secure.

5. Vedligeholdelse og pleje

5.1 Rengøring af linsen

• Brug en linseblæser til at fjerne støv og løse partikler fra linsens overflade.
• For smudges or fingerprints, use a clean microfiber lens cloth and a small amount of lens cleaning solution. Apply the solution to the cloth, not directly to the lens.
• Clean the lens body with a soft, dry cloth.

5.2 Opbevaring

• Sæt altid det forreste og bageste objektivdæksel på, når objektivet ikke er i brug.
• Opbevar linsen et køligt, tørt sted, væk fra direkte sollys og ekstreme temperaturer.
• If storing for an extended period, consider using a desiccant to prevent mold and mildew.

6. Fejlfinding

• Slørede billeder: Ensure the lens is properly focused. Check if Vibration Compensation (VC) is enabled in low light or at long focal lengths. Verify camera settings (shutter speed, aperture, ISO).
• Autofokus virker ikke: Confirm the AF/MF switch on the lens is set to 'AF'. Check camera settings for autofocus mode. Ensure there is sufficient light and contrast for the autofocus system to operate effectively.
• Lens Not Mounting: Ensure the lens is correctly aligned with the camera's mounting index and rotated until it clicks. Do not force the lens.
