Troubleshooting

Autofocus not working.

Ensure the AF/M switch on the lens is set to AF, and the camera's focus mode is also set to AF. Clean the lens contacts on the lens and camera body. Check your camera's user manual for troubleshooting.

Images are blurry.

Ensure the lens is properly focused. Check the VR function. Increase the shutter speed, especially when shooting handheld. Clean the lens elements to remove smudges or dirt.

Vignetting in images.

Make sure you are using this lens on a DX format camera. If using this lens on an FX format camera, it may cause vignetting.
