4.1 Zoom

To change the focal length, rotate the zoom ring located on the lens barrel. The focal length markings (150, 180, 200, 250, 300, 400, 500, 600mm) indicate the current setting.

4.2 Focalización

The lens supports both autofocus (AF) and manual focus (MF). Use the AF/MF switch on the lens barrel to select your desired mode.

• Enfoque automático (AF): Set the switch to AF. The camera will automatically focus on your subject.
• Enfoque manual (MF): Set the switch to MF. Rotate the focus ring to manually adjust the focus.

4.3 Optical Stabilization (OS)

The lens features optical stabilization to reduce camera shake, especially at longer focal lengths or slower shutter speeds. Use the OS switch to enable or disable this function.

• Modo 1: General stabilization for various shooting situations.
• Modo 2: Optimizado para tomas panorámicas, estabilizando o movemento vertical e permitindo o movemento horizontal.

It is recommended to turn off OS when using the lens on a tripod or when shooting with very fast shutter speeds.

4.4 Interruptor limitador de enfoque

The focus limiter switch can restrict the autofocus range, improving focus speed when your subject is within a known distance range.

• COMPLETO: Allows focusing across the entire range (minimum focusing distance to infinity).
• 10 m - ∞: Limits focus to subjects 10 meters (32.8 feet) and further.
• 2.8 m - 10 m: Limits focus to subjects between 2.8 meters (9.2 feet) and 10 meters (32.8 feet).

5. Mantemento

5.1 Limpeza da lente

• Use un cepillo soprador para eliminar o po e as partículas soltas das superficies das lentes.
• For smudges or fingerprints, use a clean, soft microfiber cloth specifically designed for optical lenses. Apply a small amount of lens cleaning solution to the cloth, not directly to the lens.
• Clean the lens body with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use organic solvents like thinner or benzene.

5.2 Almacenamento

• Coloque sempre as tapas dianteira e traseira da lente cando non a estea a usar.
• Store the lens in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and high humidity.
