Troubleshooting

Autofocus is not working.

Ensure the lens is set to autofocus mode on both the lens and the camera. Check that the subject has enough contrast and sufficient lighting for the autofocus system to function properly. Clean the lens contacts if necessary.

Images are not sharp.

Verify that the focus is correctly set. Increase the aperture to f/1.4 for the best results or focus at a slightly smaller aperture. Check for camera shake and use a faster shutter speed or a tripod. Ensure the lens is clean and free of smudges.

Focus breathing is visible in videos.

While this lens suppresses focus breathing, it's still possible. Focus on minimizing the focus pull range.

Lens cap does not fit securely.

Make sure you are using the correct lens cap (E-67 II). Check for any obstructions or damage to the cap or the lens front element. Replace the lens cap if it is damaged.
