Troubleshooting

Camera does not recognize the lens after attaching the tube.

Ensure the extension tube and lens are securely attached to the camera body. Check that the electrical contacts on the tube, lens, and camera are clean and free of debris. Try re-mounting the lens and tube.

Image appears blurry or out of focus.

Macro photography requires precise focusing. Use manual focus and magnify the live view on your camera's screen to achieve critical focus. Ensure the camera is on a stable tripod, as magnification exaggerates camera shake.

Reduced autofocus performance.

Autofocus may be slower or less reliable at very close focusing distances with extension tubes. Switch to manual focus for better control in macro situations. Ensure your lens's focus limiter switch (if available) is set appropriately.
