Troubleshooting

Lens is not focusing properly.

Ensure the lens is set to autofocus (AF) mode on the lens barrel. Check that the subject has enough contrast for the camera to focus on. Clean the lens contacts on both the lens and camera body.

Images are not sharp.

Make sure your subject is in focus. Check your aperture setting; wider apertures (lower f-numbers) have a shallower depth of field. Use a faster shutter speed to avoid motion blur. If shooting handheld, consider using image stabilization on your camera body or lens.

Camera does not recognize the lens.

Ensure the lens is properly attached to the camera body. Check the lens contacts for any dirt or debris. Try restarting your camera and reattaching the lens.
