4.1 Zumiranje

To change the focal length, rotate the zoom ring on the lens barrel. The focal lengths (100mm, 135mm, 200mm, 300mm) are marked on the ring. Rotate towards 300mm for telephoto magnification and towards 100mm for a wider telephoto view.

4.2 Fokusiranje

This lens supports both autofocus (AF) and manual focus (MF).

• Autofokus (AF): Set your camera to AF mode. The lens will automatically focus when the shutter button is half-pressed.
• Ručno fokusiranje (MF): Set your camera to MF mode. Rotate the focus ring on the lens barrel until the subject appears sharp in the viewfinder or on the camera's LCD screen. The focus distance scale (in feet and meters) is visible on the lens barrel to assist with manual focusing.

4.3 Kontrola otvora blende

Aperture settings are typically controlled via your camera body. The lens communicates with the camera to set the desired aperture. The lens barrel may display aperture markings (e.g., f/22, f/11) for reference, indicating the range of available apertures.
