Page: 13 / 14

Setting the Aperture
Aperture is set through the aperture ring on the lens, and the
clicked/de-clicked aperture switch is applied. You could switch
between clicked aperture and stepless aperture depending on your
shooting. According to the shooting situation and desired depth of
field, rotate the aperture ring on the lens to the corresponding
aperture. It is recommended to check the aperture value before
shooting to avoid unintended changing the value.
Since the lens has no CPU data, the aperture value can’t be
recorded.
Method 1 Focus Peaking
①Turn on the Focus Peaking on the camera. Chose the red color or
other commonly used colors. Sets the Peaking Level to low.
②Check the frame by the viewfinder or [Live View] on the camera
and try to get focus by Focus Peaking.
③Rotate the focus ring to achieve precise focus.
Method 2 Focus Magnification
Set the frame first. Turn the focus ring while you are checking the
image through the viewfinder or [Live View] on the camera. After
setting the composition, magnify the focus by press the button on
the camera or double click the screen, then turn the focus ring to
get focus.
Note: Since the depth-of-field is very shallow at f/0.95, it is
recommended to use a tripod and set the camera to the safe shutter
speed to ensure picture stability during shooting. It is recommend-
ed to use a combination of peaking and magnification to ensure a
sharp image.
