7artisans 50mm F1.4 Tilt-Shift Lens Instruction Manual

1. Introduktion

This manual provides detailed instructions for the proper use and care of your 7artisans 50mm F1.4 Tilt-Shift Lens. Please read this manual thoroughly before using the lens to ensure optimal performance and longevity. This lens is designed for Fuji X Mount mirrorless cameras.

2. Produktet er slutview

The 7artisans 50mm F1.4 Tilt-Shift lens is a versatile optical instrument that functions as both a standard 50mm f/1.4 prime lens and a specialized tilt-shift lens. It features a large f/1.4 aperture for low-light performance and shallow depth of field, combined with tilt and shift mechanisms for creative control over perspective and focus plane.

2.1 Lens Components

Image 2.2: Labeled diagram of the lens, indicating the aperture ring, aperture scale, distance scale, focus ring, 360° rotation mechanism, and lens mount. The lens has an approximate diameter of 75mm and a length of 73mm.

• Blændering: Adjusts the lens aperture (f-stop).
• Fokusring: Manually adjusts the focus distance.
• Distance Scale: Indicates the current focus distance in meters (m) and feet (ft).
• Aperture Scale: Displays the selected aperture value.
• Dybdeskarphedsskala: Provides an indication of the depth of field at various apertures.
• Vippemekanisme: Allows adjustment of the lens's optical axis relative to the sensor plane.
• Shift Mechanism: Allows lateral movement of the lens's optical axis relative to the sensor plane.
• 360° rotation: Enables rotation of the tilt and shift mechanisms for flexible application.
• Objektivmontering: Connects the lens to the camera body.

3. Opsætning og installation

3.1 Montering af objektivet på dit kamera

1. Sørg for, at dit kamera er slukket.
2. Remove the rear lens cap from the 7artisans 50mm F1.4 lens and the body cap from your Fuji X Mount camera.
3. Align the red dot on the lens mount with the corresponding red dot on your camera's lens mount.
4. Sæt objektivet i kamerafatningen, og drej det med uret, indtil det klikker på plads. Tving ikke objektivet.
5. Once attached, remove the front lens cap.

3.2 Afmontering af linsen

1. Sørg for, at dit kamera er slukket.
2. Press and hold the lens release button on your camera body.
3. Rotate the lens counter-clockwise until it detaches from the camera mount.
4. Immediately attach the rear lens cap to the lens and the body cap to your camera to protect them from dust and damage.

4. Betjening af objektivet

This is a manual focus and manual aperture lens. All adjustments for focus, aperture, tilt, and shift are performed directly on the lens.

4.1 Adjusting Aperture

Rotate the aperture ring to select your desired f-stop. The aperture values are marked on the lens barrel (e.g., F1.4, F2, F2.8, etc.). A larger f-number (e.g., F16) results in a smaller aperture opening, increasing depth of field. A smaller f-number (e.g., F1.4) results in a larger aperture opening, decreasing depth of field and allowing more light.

4.2 Manuel fokusering

Rotate the focus ring to achieve sharp focus on your subject. Use your camera's focus peaking or magnification assist features for precise focusing, especially with wide apertures.

4.3 Vippefunktion

The tilt function allows you to pivot the lens's optical axis relative to the camera's sensor. This changes the plane of focus, enabling you to extend or limit the depth of field in specific areas of your image, or to create a "miniature" effect. The lens can be tilted to achieve unique perspectives.

4.4 Shift Function

The shift function allows you to move the lens parallel to the camera's sensor. This is primarily used to correct perspective distortion, especially in architectural photography, by keeping parallel lines parallel. It can also be used to create panoramas by shifting the lens without moving the camera, thus avoiding parallax errors.

4.5 360° rotation

The lens features a 360° rotation mechanism, allowing you to orient the tilt and shift movements in any direction relative to the camera body. This provides maximum flexibility for creative control.

5. Vedligeholdelse og pleje

• Rengøring af linsen: Use a soft, lint-free cloth or a lens brush to remove dust from the lens surfaces. For smudges or fingerprints, use a specialized lens cleaning solution and a microfiber cloth. Apply the solution to the cloth, not directly to the lens.
• Opbevaring: When not in use, always attach the front and rear lens caps. Store the lens in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Undgå påvirkning: Beskyt linsen mod fald og stød, som kan beskadige de optiske elementer eller mekaniske komponenter.
• Fugtighed: Avoid exposing the lens to moisture or rain. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately with a clean cloth.

6. Fejlfinding

• Objektivet er ikke fastgjort til kameraet: Ensure the lens is correctly aligned with the camera mount's red dot and rotated clockwise until it clicks. Do not force it.
• Difficulty focusing: This is a manual focus lens. Ensure your camera's focus assist features (e.g., focus peaking, magnification) are enabled. Practice manual focusing for best results.
• Images are too dark/bright: Adjust the aperture ring and your camera's shutter speed and ISO settings to achieve proper exposure.
• Tilt/Shift mechanism feels stiff: Ensure no debris is obstructing the mechanism. If the issue persists, contact customer support. Do not attempt to disassemble the lens.
