Depth-Of-Field Table - Canon MP-E 65mm f/2.8 1-5x Macro Photo Instruction

Focusing
• With the lens attached to the camera, the in-
focus indicator in the viewfinder will not display
properly. When focusing, do not rely on the in-
focus indicator.
• With high-magnification macro shots, the
working distance (distance between the front of
the lens and the subject) becomes very short.
Be careful not to bump into the subject.
• To prevent camera shake, use a tripod and the
Remote Switch (sold separately).
• For magnification-priority macro photography, a
focusing rail (commerically available) will make
focusing easier.
• With high-magnification shots, the viewfinder
image will darken, making it difficult to focus.
Using Angle Finder C (sold separately) will
make it easier to focus.
• To check the depth of field, refer to the Depth-of-
field Table or use the camera's depth-of-field
preview.
