Troubleshooting

Autofocus not working.

Ensure the AF/MF switch on the lens is set to AF. Check that your camera's focus mode is set to single-point or another appropriate AF mode. Clean the lens contacts.

Images are not sharp.

Ensure the subject is in focus. Check your aperture setting; wider apertures (lower f-numbers) have a shallower depth of field and require more precise focusing. Consider using a tripod in low light to minimize camera shake.

Vignetting is visible.

Vignetting, or darkening of the corners, is normal with this lens at wider apertures. It can be reduced by stopping down the aperture. You can also correct it in post-processing.
