  • Page 7 PRECAUTIONS IN SHOOTING (con’t) When using the lens in the telephoto focal range, it may be necessary to use a tripod to avoid camera shake. Using high-speed film (ISO 400 or faster) with a fast shutter speed is also helpful to reduce the influence of camera shake. Tele-converters are efficient tools to add focal length to the photographer's telephoto lenses including zoom lenses but cannot be recommended for use with wide-angle lenses or zoom lenses that cover wide-angle range focal lengths.
