Troubleshooting
Autofocus is not working.
Ensure the camera and lens are set to autofocus mode. Check that the lens is properly mounted and the focus mode switch on the lens is set to AF.
Images are not sharp.
Check your focus settings and ensure the subject is in focus. Increase the aperture (higher f-number) to increase depth of field. Consider using a tripod for optimal sharpness, especially in low light.
Lens is producing blurry images.
Ensure the lens is clean and free from smudges. Check for camera shake and use a faster shutter speed or a tripod.
Autofocus hunts or struggles.
Try a different autofocus mode (e.g., Wide, Zone, Flexible Spot). Make sure there are no obstructions in the scene that might be interfering with autofocus.
