3.1 Tilt Function for Miniature World Effect
The tilt function allows you to change the plane of focus, creating a selective focus effect often referred to as the "miniature world" effect. By tilting the lens, you can make a specific area appear sharp while blurring the foreground and background, simulating a shallow depth of field typically seen in macro photography of small objects.

3.2 Shift Function for Perspective Correction
The shift function enables you to move the lens parallel to the sensor plane. This is particularly useful in architectural photography to correct converging vertical lines that occur when photographing tall buildings from a low angle. By shifting the lens upwards, you can keep the building's lines straight and parallel, maintaining a natural perspective.
Image: A comparison showing the effect of the shift function. On the left, buildings appear straight and vertical with the shift function applied. On the right, the same buildings without shift appear to tilt and distort due to perspective.
3.3 360° Rotation Mechanism
The lens features a 360° rotation mechanism, allowing you to adjust the tilt and shift axes independently. This provides flexibility in controlling the plane of focus and perspective correction in various orientations. Note that for GFX-mount versions, the 360° rotation is not available; it only allows tilting left/right and panning up/down. The rotation and shift functions cannot be used simultaneously.
Image: A diagram illustrating the rotation capabilities. Lenses for E, Z, RF, and L-mounts are 360° rotatable, allowing tilt and pan at any angle. GFX-mount lenses do not have 360° rotation and only tilt left/right and pan up/down.

This is a manual focus lens. Use your camera's focus peaking or magnification features to achieve precise focus. The lens has a minimum focus distance of 0.3 meters, allowing for close-up shots and creative perspectives.
3.5 Диафрагманы башкаруу
The lens is equipped with 10 aperture blades, which contribute to smooth bokeh (background blur) and a distinctive 10-point starburst effect when shooting bright light sources at narrower apertures.

3.6 Lens Hood Usage
The dedicated lens hood helps to reduce flare and provides additional protection for the front element. Attach the hood by aligning it with the front of the lens and twisting until it locks into place. Ensure it is securely attached before use.

3.7 Understanding the Ultra-Large Image Circle
The TTARTISAN Tilt-Shift 17mm f/4 lens features an image circle of approximately 64mm. This is significantly larger than typical full-frame and even some medium-format lens image circles. A larger image circle provides more room for tilt and shift movements without vignetting, especially when using the lens's full capabilities.

5. Кыйынчылыктарды
5.1 Vignetting Issues
While the lens has a large image circle, extreme tilt or shift movements, especially when combined with certain camera formats or lens hoods, can sometimes lead to slight vignetting. If you experience vignetting:
- Reduce the amount of tilt or shift applied.
- Ensure the lens hood is correctly attached and not obstructing the view.
- For GFX-mount users, note that using the lens hood with shift function may result in slight vignetting.
5.2 Difficulty Focusing
As a manual focus lens, precise focusing requires practice. If you are having difficulty:
- Utilize your camera's focus peaking feature, which highlights in-focus areas.
- Use the camera's magnification assist to zoom into the image and fine-tune focus.
- Ensure the aperture ring is set to an appropriate value for your desired depth of field.
