カメラ設定
Since this is a manual lens, you will need to adjust your camera settings:
- カメラを次のように設定します マニュアル(M) or 絞り優先(A) モード。
- 有効にする "Release without lens" or "Shoot without lens" in your camera's menu, as the camera will not detect an electronic connection to the lens.

レンズの操作
絞りの調整
The aperture is controlled directly on the lens using the aperture ring. Rotate the ring to select your desired f-stop. A wider aperture (smaller f-number like F1.8) allows more light and creates a shallower depth of field, ideal for portraits. A narrower aperture (larger f-number) allows less light and creates a deeper depth of field, suitable for landscapes.
手動フォーカシング
To focus, rotate the focus ring on the lens barrel until your subject appears sharp in the viewfinder or on the LCD screen. Utilize your camera's focus peaking and magnification features for precise focusing, especially at wider apertures.
- フォーカスピーキング: 焦点が合った領域を色付きのアウトラインで強調表示します。
