Your VIV-13MM-C lens is uniquely designed for Canon cameras. Attaching Your Lens to Your Camera Hold the hood locking area of the lens gently, and align the lens mounting reference point or line with the lens ring mount of the camera. Next, push the lens into the camera and turn the lens softly until it makes a clicking sound, and the depth of field scale is positioned on the upper part of the camera.
Focus Adjustment You can adjust the focus of the subject you are photographing by turning the focus adjustment ring on your lens, as it is an MF (manual focus) adjustment lens. To do so, please follow the steps below: 1. When focusing on a subject from a long distance, turn the focus ring to the right (∞ to 1) and focus on the clearest subject by using the indication signal on the camera or by checking visually. 2.
Brightness Control You can set the amount of brightness you want by turning the aperture adjustment ring when using your lens. [Aperture adjustment ring markings] When you turn the aperture adjustment ring between 22, 16, 11, 8, 5.6, 4, 2.8, 2 and 1.4 you are making 1 stop each turn. Brightness can be set more precisely by making half stops as well (see below). 5.6 and 8 are 1 stop apart (1EV). Set a 0.5 stop (0.5EV) between 5.
Camera Settings Some cameras require special settings when using this lens. Please read the information below and set your camera accordingly. The aperture of the 13mm Ultra Wide Aspherical Lens is not specifically geared to your camera. If the F stop is set above 8, you may not be able to set the correct focus due to difficulty in viewing the subject through the camera’s viewfinder.
Camera Settings (continued) 1. Set the camera mode dial to ‘M’ 2. Adjust the shutter speed to achieve the appropriate brightness. The shutter speed of some Canon cameras changes automatically if the shooting mode dial is set to Av and the brightness is set by turning the aperture adjustment ring. Therefore the shutter speed is not required to be set additionally as when using the M mode. (The camera settings discussed apply to the Canon 40D camera.
