Extension Tube Tips

•  As with all macro 

photography, images will 
have a very shallow depth of 
field. To increase the depth 
of field, select a smaller 
aperture.

•  At extremely close 

distances, focus may be 
difficult to achieve, whether 
using auto or manual focus. 

If this is the case, use a 
macro focusing rail or set 
the lens manually to the 
desired focal point. Then, 
move the lens forward or 
back to achieve the sharpest 
focus.

•  Due to increased exposure 

times, a tripod and cable 
release or remote control 

is always recommended for 
macro photography.

•  Due to the increased 

distance between the lens 
and the sensor, the camera’s 
TTL system may not always 
be accurate. Use a manual 
exposure mode if this 
happens.
