- Enfoque manual (MF): Set the AF/MF switch to 'MF'. Rotate the focus ring on the lens barrel until the subject appears sharp in the viewdescubridor.
3.3 Función Macro
The lens offers a macro function for close-up photography. To engage the macro mode, typically you would zoom to the telephoto end (135mm) and then activate the macro switch or ring if available on the lens. Refer to your camera's manual for specific settings related to macro photography.
3.4 Control de apertura
The aperture (f/3.8-5.6) is controlled electronically by the camera body. Select your desired aperture setting through your camera's controls. The lens will communicate with the camera to set the appropriate aperture value.
