The included lens hood helps to block stray light and protect the front element of the lens. Align the red dot on the lens hood with the red dot on the front of the lens, then twist the hood clockwise until it locks securely.

4.3 Using the Tripod Socket

For stable shooting, especially at longer focal lengths, attach the lens to a tripod using the integrated tripod socket. The tripod collar can be rotated for optimal balance and composition. Loosen the locking knob on the tripod collar to rotate the lens, then tighten it to secure the position.

5. Betriebsarten

5.1 Fokusmodi (AF/MF)

The lens features a switch to select between Autofocus (AF) and Manual Focus (MF). In AF mode, the camera automatically focuses on the subject. In MF mode, you manually adjust the focus ring on the lens. The Manual Override (MO) function allows for fine-tuning focus manually even when AF is engaged.

• Modus 2: Optimiert für Schwenkaufnahmen, stabilisiert vertikale Bewegungen bei gleichzeitiger Ermöglichung horizontaler Bewegungen.
• AUS: Deaktiviert die optische Bildstabilisierung.

5.3 Zoom-Sperrschalter

The zoom lock switch prevents the lens barrel from extending or retracting unintentionally, which is useful during transport or when shooting at a fixed focal length.
