Focusing • With the lens attached to the camera, the infocus indicator in the viewfinder will not display properly. When focusing, do not rely on the infocus indicator. • With high-magnification macro shots, the working distance (distance between the front of the lens and the subject) becomes very short. Be careful not to bump into the subject. • To prevent camera shake, use a tripod and the Remote Switch (sold separately). • For magnification-priority macro photography, a focusing rail (commerically available) will make focusing easier. • With high-magnification shots, the viewfinder image will darken, making it difficult to focus. Using Angle Finder C (sold separately) will make it easier to focus. • To check the depth of field, refer to the Depth-offield Table or use the camera's depth-of-field preview.

To prevent camera shake, use a tripod and the
Remote Switch (sold separately).
For magnification-priority macro photography, a
focusing rail (commerically available) will make
focusing easier.
With high-magnification shots, the viewfinder
image will darken, making it difficult to focus.
Using Angle Finder C (sold separately) will
make it easier to focus.
To check the depth of field, refer to the Depth-of-
field Table or use the camera’s depth-of-field
preview.
With the lens attached to the camera, the in-
focus indicator in the viewfinder will not display
properly. When focusing, do not rely on the in-
focus indicator.
With high-magnification macro shots, the
working distance (distance between the front of
the lens and the subject) becomes very short.
Be careful not to bump into the subject.
