Samyang AF 35mm F1.4 FE User manual

Thank you for purchasing this Samyang Optics product.
The Samyang AF 35mm F1.4 FE lens is a high performance AF single
vision lens designed exclusively for the E-mount of SONY
interchangeable-lens cameras. (This lens cannot be used with an A-
mount camera.)
※FE refers to the full frame E-mount.
󳢯This lens is designed exclusively for E-Mount, delivering excellent
optical capability.
󳢯Designed for cameras with 35mm full frame image sensors for high
quality pictures and videos.
󳢯The large F1.4 lens ensures bright and highly dimensional images and
provides ideal images in landscape and snapshot photography.
󳢯It minimizes various aberrations by using a glass mold aspherical lens,
so even at the fully opened position, high-resolution and high-contrast
images are produced from the center of the lens as well as around the
periphery.
󳢯This product is equipped with an ultrasonic motor for quiet and accurate
photography.
󳢯This product is designed in the form of an inner focus lens, meaning the
lens does not come out or rotate according to the focal distance, and is
therefore convenient for using a filter and is more resistant to dust.
󳢯Please read this instruction manual and familiarize yourself with the
functions of the lens, the operating method and cautions for handling
the product correctly prior to use.
󳢯Also refer to the instruction manual of the camera you are using with the
lens.
󳢯The supported functions of this product may vary according to the
camera model.
󳢯For detailed information regarding compatibility, visit the certified service
center or refer to our homepage. (https://www.samyanglensglobal.com)
In order to maintain user safety and prevent damage to the product, fully
familiarize yourself with the following items in order to use the product
correctly.
󳢯It is dangerous to look at the sun through the lens directly. Doing so
may seriously impair your vision.
󳢯Be careful not to apply an impact when attaching the lens. The lens is a
precisionoptical product, so dropping or applying excessive impact to
the lens may cause product failure.
󳢯In order to use the lens safely, attach or detach the lens while the
camera is turned off.
󳢯Be careful not to touch or contaminate the contact point on the mount. If
an electronic signal is not transmitted between the camera and the lens
smoothly, a malfunction may occur.
󳢯Do not wet the lens or touch the lens with a wet hand when using the
lens near water. Doing so may result in fire or electric shock.
󳢯It is recommended to use a strong tripod. If a weak tripod is used, the
tripod may fall, damaging the camera and the lens.
󳢯Do not store the lens without a lens cap in a location with direct sunlight,
such as inside a vehicle. Direct sunlight passing through the lens may
be concentrated, causing a fire.
󳢯If the lens is placed in a hot location, damage or distortion may occur
and problems in the performance may occur.
󳢯Store the lens in a dry and well-ventilated location. Avoid direct sunlight
and do not store the lens with naphthalene or moth balls.
󳢯Avoid using the lens in a location with drastic temperature changes. In
particular, if you move a lens that has been chilled in a cold location to a
warm location, moisture in the air may be concentrated outside or inside
the lens, causing product failure or the production of mold. In such a
case, keep the lens in a plastic bag or an exclusive camera bag and
take it out when the temperature of the lens becomes similar to the
peripheral temperature.
󳢯Keep the lens out of the reach of children. Failure to do so may cause
an accident or personal injury.
󳢯If the lens surface gets dirty, dust it off using a lens blower or a brush
and wipe it with a soft and clean cloth (cleaning tissue, cotton cloth,
etc.).
󳢯When dusting or cleaning the lens, do not use an organic solvent such
as thinner, alcohol, or benzene.
󳢯When cleaning the lens, put a small amount of ethanol or lens cleaner
on a soft and clean cloth or a cleaning paper and wipe the lens by
circling outwards from the center.
