6. Solució De Problemes

6.1 Problemes d'enfocament automàtic

If autofocus stops working, try detaching the lens and reattaching it to the camera. Ensure the lens firmware is up to date. Check your camera's autofocus settings to confirm they are configured correctly for the shooting situation.

6.2 Vignetting and Distortion

At wider apertures (e.g., F1.8), some vignetting (darkening of image corners) and distortion may be noticeable. Many modern cameras offer in-camera lens corrections that can mitigate these effects. Alternatively, post-processing software can be used to correct vignetting and distortion.

6.3 Softness in Corners

Corner sharpness may improve by stopping down the aperture (e.g., to F2.8 or F4). This is a common characteristic of wide-angle lenses, especially at their widest apertures.
