Troubleshooting
Autofocus is slow or hunting.
Ensure the lens is clean and properly mounted. Check camera AF settings and try switching to a different focus mode. In low light, focus assist might be necessary.
Image stabilization not engaging.
Verify that the OIS function is enabled in the camera's menu settings. Ensure the lens is securely attached to the camera body.
Visible chromatic aberration (color fringing).
This lens features ED elements to minimize aberration, but it can still occur in high-contrast situations. Use in-camera JPEGs settings or post-processing software to correct.
Lens produces soft images.
Check that the correct focal length is set (it's fixed at 250mm). Ensure focus is accurate. Use a tripod and faster shutter speed if hand-holding. Clean the lens elements.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: This lens is specifically designed for Fujifilm's G-mount GFX camera system. Ensure your camera body is compatible with Fujinon GF lenses.
Mounting: Align the lens mounting index with the corresponding index on your GFX camera body. Rotate the lens clockwise until it clicks into place.
Care:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth to clean the lens elements. For stubborn smudges, a lens cleaning solution specifically designed for optics can be applied sparingly to the cloth, not directly to the lens.
- Storage: Store the lens in a protective case or camera bag when not in use. Avoid extreme temperatures and humidity.
- Weather Sealing: While the lens is weather-sealed, it is not waterproof. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or submersion. After shooting in adverse conditions, gently wipe the lens dry and allow it to acclimate to room temperature before storing to prevent condensation.
- Filters: Use 82mm threaded filters. Ensure they are clean before attaching to avoid scratching the front element.
