Funcionamento da lente

Focalización

The MINITAR-1 Art Lens features a 4-step zone focusing system, designed for quick and intuitive focusing. To focus:

• Calcula a distancia ao teu suxeito.
• Rotate the focus tab on the lens barrel to align with the corresponding distance marker (e.g., 0.8m, 1.5m, INF 3) that best matches your estimated distance.
• For cameras with rangefinder coupling, the lens will provide precise focusing feedback through the camera's rangefinder mechanism.

Control de apertura

The lens features an aperture ring with markings from f/2.8 to f/22. To adjust the aperture:

• Xire o anel de apertura para seleccionar o número f desexado.
• A wider aperture (smaller f-number like f/2.8) allows more light into the camera, suitable for low-light conditions and creating a shallow depth of field.
• A narrower aperture (larger f-number like f/22) reduces the amount of light and increases the depth of field, keeping more of the scene in focus.

Mantemento

Limpeza da lente

Proper cleaning helps maintain optical performance:

• Use a blower brush to remove dust and loose particles from the lens elements and body.
• For smudges or fingerprints, apply a small amount of lens cleaning solution to a clean microfiber lens cloth and gently wipe the lens surface in a circular motion. Avoid applying solution directly to the lens.
• Clean the lens body with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

• Always attach both the front and rear lens caps to protect the optical elements.
• Garda a lente nun lugar fresco e seco, lonxe da luz solar directa e de temperaturas extremas.
• Consider using a dehumidifying cabinet or silica gel packets in humid environments to prevent mold growth.
