Troubleshooting

Autofocus not working.

Ensure the lens is properly mounted on the camera. Check the camera's autofocus settings and ensure they are enabled. Clean the lens contacts on both the lens and camera.

Images are not sharp.

Ensure the lens is properly focused. Check the aperture setting; a wider aperture (lower f-number) may result in shallower depth of field. Consider using a tripod for sharper images, especially at longer focal lengths.

Lens extends unintentionally.

Use the zoom lock switch to prevent the lens from extending due to gravity.

Dust or debris inside the lens.

If the issue is significant, contact a professional lens repair service.
