Troubleshooting

Autofocus is slow or not working.

Ensure the AF/MF switch on the lens is set to AF. Clean the lens contacts on both the lens and camera. Try manual focus.

Images are not sharp.

Ensure you are using a fast enough shutter speed to avoid blur, especially when shooting handheld. Check your focus, and consider using a tripod.

OS (Optical Stabilizer) not working.

Make sure the OS switch is in the 'ON' position. The OS may not work as effectively at very high shutter speeds or when mounted on a tripod.

Flare or ghosting in images.

Use the included lens hood. Try to shoot with the sun behind you or at an angle. Clean the lens surface.
