• MF (Fokus Manyèl): For manual focusing. Rotate the focus ring to adjust focus.

The Optical Stabilizer (OS) function helps to reduce camera shake, especially when shooting handheld or in low light. The lens typically offers multiple OS modes:

• Mòd 2: Designed for panning shots, stabilizing vertical movement while allowing horizontal movement.
• OFF: Disables the Optical Stabilizer. It is recommended to turn OS off when using a tripod to avoid potential interference.

Refer to your camera's manual for specific recommendations on using image stabilization with your camera model.
