Some cameras must be set up to be to use a manual lens
prior to lens attachment. Set up your camera by referring
to the information provided below. For details, refer to
your camera's manual.
4. Setting Up the Camera
As a general guide, the shutter speed should be in a range of
1/500 to 1/1000 on a fine day when the ISO sensitivity is set to
400. If you're using a digital single-lens reflex camera, take your
photos while checking each image on the LCD monitor:
●
The image is too dark: Lower the shutter speed.
●
The image is too bright: Raise the shutter speed.
Tip
The lens can be used in the “Av (aperture priority)” mode and “M
(manual)” mode.
■
How to use the “Av (aperture priority)” mode
1. Set the exposure mode to “Av.”
2. Correct the exposure compensation if necessary.
If this lens is used with a Canon EOS series camera, the following
operations may be required on some models due to the mecha-
nism of the camera:
• When the lens is attached, the aperture is displayed as “00.”:
No action is needed in this regard.
• A value (e.g., F5 or 6) is displayed as an aperture when the lens
is attached:
Open up the aperture (adjust it to the smallest value).
