LAOWA FF II Argus 45mm f/0.95, Instruction Manual

Page: 12 / 14

Align the mounting index on the lens hood② and the lens. Turn the
hood clockwise until it locks.
For detaching the lens hood, rotate it counterclockwise.
It is recommended that you use a lens hood to reduce strong light
and protect the front element.
Lens hood may be unavailable when using certain filters.
When storing, turn over the lens hood and place it onto the lens
backward.
When shooting with a flash, the lens hood may block light and
cause vignetting. So when shooting with the camera’s built-in flash
or with the external flash unit that is not high enough, please
remove the hood before shooting.

Focusing
This is a fully manual lens. Rotate the focusing ring④ slowly to get
focus.
Turn the focus ring slowly and gently to prevent the focus
mechanism from damage.
The distance scale⑤ and depth of field scale⑥ are for instructional
purposes. Actual focus and DOF may slightly differ from those scale
indications.
To get precise focus, it is recommended to focus wide open when
the camera position is fixed. Get focus first, then set the desired
aperture by turning the aperture ring.
Turn on the focus peaking on the camera to help focusing. (Note
that the function depends on camera models.)
