Автофокустун (AF) иштеши

The Samyang 12mm F2.0 AF lens features a Linear STM autofocus motor, providing fast, quiet, and precise focusing. This motor works seamlessly with Sony's phase and contrast detection systems, making it suitable for both still photography and video recording. For optimal performance, ensure your camera's autofocus mode is set appropriately (e.g., AF-S for single shot, AF-C for continuous, or AF-A for automatic switching).

Manual Focus Override

While primarily an autofocus lens, the Samyang 12mm F2.0 AF allows for manual focus override. This can be particularly useful in situations where precise focus is critical, such as astrophotography or macro-style wide-angle shots. Consult your camera's manual for instructions on enabling manual focus or direct manual focus (DMF) mode.

Диафрагма Control

The lens features a bright F2.0 maximum aperture, allowing for excellent low-light performance and the creation of images with shallow depth of field. The aperture can be controlled directly through your camera's settings, ranging from F2.0 to F22. A wider aperture (smaller f-number) is ideal for low light and subject isolation, while a narrower aperture (larger f-number) increases depth of field, suitable for landscapes.
