Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This is a manual focus lens. Mount it onto your compatible mirrorless camera body by aligning the red dot on the lens with the corresponding mark on the camera mount and rotating it clockwise until it clicks into place. Once mounted, you can adjust focus by rotating the focus ring on the lens. Set your camera to manual exposure mode (`M`) or aperture priority (`A`/`Av`) for full control.
Compatibility: The Laowa 9mm f/2.8 Zero-D lens is available in various mounts, including Fujifilm X, Sony E, Canon EF-M, DJI DL, and Micro Four Thirds (MFT). Ensure you select the version with the correct mount for your specific camera system. This lens is designed for cameras with APS-C or smaller sensors; it is *not* a full-frame lens.
Care:
- Keep the lens cap on when not in use to protect the front element.
- Store the lens in a protective bag or case to prevent dust and scratches.
- Clean the lens elements using a soft-lens brush or air blower for dust. For smudges, use a microfiber lens cloth with a small amount of lens cleaning solution, wiping gently in a circular motion from the center outwards.
- Avoid touching the lens elements with your fingers.
- The included petal-shaped lens hood should be attached when shooting in bright conditions to prevent flare and ghosting. It can be reversed for compact storage.
