4. Upravljanje objektivom

4.1 Zumiranje

Rotate the zoom ring to adjust the focal length between 60mm and 600mm. The lens also supports push-pull zooming for rapid focal length changes.

4.2 Fokusiranje

• Automatsko fokusiranje (AF): Set the FOCUS mode switch to 'AF'. The lens will automatically focus when the camera's shutter button is half-pressed.
• Ručno fokusiranje (MF): Set the FOCUS mode switch to 'MF'. Rotate the focus ring to manually adjust focus.
• Manual Override (MO): This mode allows for manual focus adjustment even when the lens is set to autofocus, providing fine-tuning capability.

4.3 Focus Limiter

The focus limiter switch allows you to restrict the autofocus range, which can improve autofocus speed when shooting subjects within a specific distance. Options typically include FULL (full range), 6m - ∞ (6 meters to infinity), and 6m - 2.6m (6 meters to 2.6 meters).

4.4 Optical Stabilization (OS)

The Intelligent OS system minimizes camera shake, providing up to 4 stops of stabilization. Set the OS switch to 'ON' for handheld shooting. Different OS modes may be available for various shooting scenarios (e.g., Mode 1 for general use, Mode 2 for panning shots).

4.5 Zoom Lock Switch

Use the zoom lock switch to secure the lens at a desired focal length, preventing zoom creep during transport or when shooting at a fixed focal length.
