४. लेन्स चालवणे

५.१ फोकस मोड स्विच (AF/MF)

• एएफ (ऑटोफोकस): For automatic focusing. The Ring USM provides fast and quiet autofocus.
• एमएफ (मॅन्युअल फोकस): For manual focusing. This lens supports full-time manual focus, allowing you to adjust focus manually even when in AF mode without damaging the mechanism.

3.2 Focus Limiter Switch

This switch allows you to limit the focus range, which can speed up autofocus performance when your subject is within a known distance range.

• पूर्ण: Allows focusing across the entire range (closest focusing distance to infinity).
• 2.5m - ∞: Limits focusing to subjects 2.5 meters (8.2 feet) or further away.

3.3 Image Stabilizer (IS) Switch

• चालू: Activates the Image Stabilizer function, reducing blur caused by camera shake.
• बंद: Deactivates the Image Stabilizer. It is recommended to turn IS off when using a tripod for extended periods or when shooting at very fast shutter speeds.

3.4 Image Stabilizer Mode Switch

This lens offers two Image Stabilizer modes:

• मोड 1: Corrects camera shake in all directions (vertical and horizontal). Ideal for stationary subjects.
• मोड 2: Corrects camera shake only in the vertical direction. Ideal for panning shots where you follow a moving subject horizontally.

6. समस्या निवारण

• ऑटोफोकस काम करत नाही:
  • Ensure the AF/MF switch is set to "AF".
  • Check the Focus Limiter switch; if set to a limited range, the subject might be outside that range.
  • Verify that the lens is securely attached to the camera body.
  • ऑटोफोकस सिस्टम प्रभावीपणे कार्य करण्यासाठी पुरेसा प्रकाश सुनिश्चित करा.
• प्रतिमा अस्पष्ट आहेत:
  • Check if the Image Stabilizer (IS) is turned "ON" if shooting handheld.
  • Ensure the correct IS mode is selected for your shooting situation (Mode 1 for stationary, Mode 2 for panning).
  • Verify that the shutter speed is appropriate for the lighting conditions and focal length to minimize camera shake.
  • Confirm that the lens is properly focused on your subject.
• प्रतिमांवर धूळ किंवा डाग:
  • Clean the front and rear lens elements using appropriate lens cleaning tools.
  • Check your camera's sensor for dust if cleaning the lens doesn't resolve the issue.
