4. Funcionament de l'objectiu

4.1 Enfocament manual

The Canon TS-E 90mm f/2.8 is a manual focus lens. To focus, rotate the focusing ring on the lens barrel until your subject appears sharp in the viewfinder or on the camera's LCD screen (using Live View for greater precision).

4.2 Control d'obertura

This lens features an f/2.8 maximum aperture, allowing for excellent performance in low-light conditions and the creation of images with shallow depth of field. Automatic aperture control is enabled, supporting autoexposure and autoexposure bracketing with compatible EOS cameras.

4.3 Tilt and Shift Functions

The unique tilt and shift mechanisms allow for creative control over perspective and depth of field. The tilt function changes the plane of focus, while the shift function corrects perspective distortion. The tilt and shift axes intersect at a 90-degree angle. This configuration can be modified to be parallel at an authorized Canon Service Facility, at the owner's expense.

4.3.1 Funció d'inclinació

To use the tilt function, loosen the tilt lock knob and gently tilt the front of the lens up or down, or left or right, to adjust the plane of focus. This can be used to keep an entire subject sharp from foreground to background (e.g., a landscape) or to create a miniature effect by limiting the depth of field to a narrow band.

4.3.2 Shift Function

To use the shift function, loosen the shift lock knob and move the front of the lens parallel to the sensor. This is primarily used to correct converging lines in architectural photography, making tall buildings appear straight rather than leaning backward. It can also be used to create panoramas by shifting the lens without moving the camera.

5. Manteniment

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your lens:

• Neteja de la superfície de la lent: Use a lens blower to remove dust, then a soft lens brush. For smudges or fingerprints, use a lens cleaning solution and a microfiber cloth, wiping gently in a circular motion from the center outwards.
• Neteja del cos de la lent: Wipe the lens body with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using organic solvents.
• Emmagatzematge: Store the lens with both front and rear caps attached in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. Avoid direct sunlight, high temperatures, and high humidity. If storing for extended periods, consider using a desiccant.
