Troubleshooting

Autofocus not working

Ensure the AF/MF switch on the lens is set to AF. Clean the lens contacts on the lens and camera. Check your camera's focus mode settings.

Images are blurry

Ensure image stabilization is turned on (if needed). Check your shutter speed; it should be fast enough to avoid camera shake, especially at longer focal lengths. Clean the lens surface.

Lens hood not attaching correctly

Ensure the lens hood is properly aligned with the lens barrel and rotate it until it clicks into place. It can only be attached in the correct orientation.

Focus is slow

Ensure the autofocus is not being obstructed. Try manually focusing, then using autofocus again. Check the lighting conditions; autofocus can struggle in low light.
