viewfinder or using live view, move the camera back or forward
to find the proper focus.
3. Focus the subject finely. Turn the focus ring to get sharp focus.
Method 2: Framing Priority
While looking through the viewfinder or using live view to frame
and focus, turn the focus ring, frame the subject and then follow
steps 2 and 3 above.
Turn the focus ring on the lens to get focus as LAOWA is a MF lens.
There are two ways of focusing, you can give priority to
magnification or to framing.
Focusing Instructions
Limited to close-up shots,it allows a focusing distance range of 173.0mm to
223.8mm and can not focus to infinity.
Gently turn the focus ring to prevent the focus mechanism from damage.
When making high magnification shots, please shoot carefully because you are
so close to the subject under the extremely short working distance.
Magnification refers to the ratio between the subject’s size in reality and
the size of the subject’s projection on the image sensor.
To prevent camera shake, using the tripod, shutter release, mirror lock-up and
silent mode are recommended.
When shooting as method 1 (magnification priority), a focusing rail slider will
make focusing easier.
For high magnification shots, the actual aperture will becomes darker, so
please refer to exposure compensation table to make adjustments accordingly.
To reduce shake when shooting, please use a tripod and a flash.
Manual exposure mode is recommended to obtain accurate exposure.
