FULL MANUAL LENS, no electric contacts→no auto focus→no image stabilization
- What is a manual lens?
It can't autofocus and need to spend time to turn the focus ring on the lens to focus before you can take a sharp picture.
- How to use a manual focus lens?
First of all, manual focus lenses need to be used in M-mode; secondly, it requires to manually set the proper ISO and shutter speed through the camera, and the aperture value cannot be set by the camera(that's why it shows F--/F00); the aperture can only be adjusted by the aperture ring on the lens.


Manual Focus Lens - Used in M-mode
How to Use the Manual Lens?
- Attach the lens to your camera;
- Switch to M mode.

No aperture value displayed
- ISO and shutter speed must be adjusted manually in M mode.
- Manual lenses do not display the aperture value, which is why F00 or F-- is displayed on the camera.
- The aperture value F1.8-22 can only be adjusted with the aperture ring on the lens.
