Focus Adjustment  
You can adjust the focus of the subject you are photographing by turning the focus

please follow the steps below:  
1. When focusing on a subject from a long distance, turn the focus ring to the right  
(∞ to 1) and focus on the clearest subject by using the indication signal on the camera or  
by checking visually.

Camera Settings  
Some cameras require special settings when using this lens. Please read the information  
below and set your camera accordingly.  
The aperture of the 13mm Ultra Wide Aspherical Lens is not specifically geared to your  
camera.  
If the F stop is set above 8, you may not be able to set the correct focus due to difficulty in  
viewing the subject through the camera’s viewfinder. Turn the aperture adjustment ring and  
fully open it when attaching this lens to the camera, and then turn the aperture adjustment  
ring again to set the depth of focus and brightness you want prior to shooting.
