Preparation
• The picture may have some distortion
2
(typical example: vertical straight line bent
SCN
outwards). This is due to the lens
aberration, which is common to some
extent with all photographic lenses.
Distortion may be more visible when using
a wider area of the zoom lens as you get
closer to the subject.
• When using the zoom lens at high
magnification, the quality of the picture
can be enhanced if a tripod is used. At
5
high magnification, even small
movements can cause a slight decrease
in picture sharpness.
