- Kyk deur jou kamera se viewsoeker of gebruik Live View op die LCD-skerm.
- Rotate the wide focus ring on the lens barrel until your subject appears sharp.

4.2 Diafragmabeheer
For the ZEISS Otus T ZE (Canon EF-Mount) version, the aperture is controlled electronically via your camera body. Set your desired aperture value directly on your camera.

- To use, focus on your subject.
- Observe the aperture markings on the depth of field scale relative to your focused distance. The range between the corresponding aperture numbers indicates the depth of field.
5. Onderhoud

Proper cleaning helps maintain optical performance and extends the life of your lens.
