Chromatic aberration is visible.

Ensure the APO design is working by focusing correctly. Ensure the lighting is even and there are no bright highlights. If the problem persists, adjust the image processing (e.g., in Lightroom) to reduce chromatic aberration.

Focusing is difficult.

Use your camera's focus peaking or magnification features to assist. Practice focusing on different subjects and at varying distances.

Lens is not recognized by the camera.

Ensure the lens is properly mounted and locked. Check the camera settings to ensure manual lenses are enabled. Try cleaning the lens contacts with a soft cloth.
