3. Utilizzo dell'obiettivo

Messa a fuoco manuale

The AI-S NIKKOR 50mm f/1.2 is a manual focus lens. To focus, rotate the focus ring on the lens barrel until your subject appears sharp in the viewfinder. Many modern Nikon DSLR cameras offer focus confirmation indicators (e.g., a green dot in the viewfinder) to assist with precise manual focusing. For critical focus, especially at wide apertures, consider using Live View mode with magnification.

Controllo dell'apertura

The aperture is set manually using the aperture ring located on the lens barrel. Rotate the ring to select your desired f-stop, ranging from f/1.2 (widest) to f/16 (narrowest). When using this lens on compatible Nikon DSLR cameras, set the camera to Manual (M) or Aperture-Priority (A) mode. For some camera models, you may need to set the aperture ring to its smallest opening (highest f-number) and lock it, then control the aperture via the camera body's command dial, if supported. Refer to your camera's manual for specific compatibility and settings for non-CPU lenses.

Note sulla compatibilità

This lens is compatible with Nikon F-mount cameras, including FX, DX, FX in DX Crop Mode, and 35mm Film SLR cameras. While it can be mounted on many Nikon DSLR bodies, full electronic communication (such as autofocus or automatic exposure control in all modes) is not available. Manual focus and manual aperture control are required. Some camera models may require specific settings to recognize and operate with non-CPU lenses.

4. Manutenzione

Pulizia della lente

• Elementi dell'obiettivo: Use a blower brush to remove dust and loose particles. For smudges or fingerprints, apply a small amount of lens cleaning solution to a clean microfiber cloth and gently wipe the lens surface in a circular motion from the center outwards. Avoid applying solution directly to the lens.
• Corpo dell'obiettivo: Pulire il barilotto dell'obiettivo con un panno morbido e asciutto. Per lo sporco ostinato, utilizzare un panno leggermenteamp si può usare un panno, seguito da un panno asciutto.

Magazzinaggio

• Quando l'obiettivo non è in uso, applicare sempre i tappi anteriore e posteriore.
• Conservare le lenti in un luogo fresco e asciutto, lontano dalla luce solare diretta e da temperature estreme.
• Se si conserva per periodi prolungati, si consiglia di utilizzare un essiccante per prevenire la formazione di muffa.

5. Risoluzione Dei Problemi

Problemi comuni e soluzioni

• L'obiettivo non mette a fuoco: This is a manual focus lens. Ensure you are rotating the focus ring to achieve focus. Check your camera's focus confirmation indicator if available.
• Camera not recognizing lens / Exposure issues: This is a non-CPU lens. Set your camera to Manual (M) or Aperture-Priority (A) mode. For some DSLR models, you may need to register the lens's focal length and maximum aperture in the camera's setup menu (e.g., 'Non-CPU lens data') to enable proper metering and display of aperture in the viewfinder. Ensure the aperture ring is set correctly.
• Lens difficult to attach/detach: Ensure the lens and camera mounting indexes are aligned correctly. Do not force the lens. If resistance is felt, re-align and try again. Ensure the lens release button is fully depressed when detaching.
