4.1 Auto Focus (AF) / Manual Focus (MF) Switch

The lens features a switch on its barrel to toggle between Auto Focus (AF) and Manual Focus (MF) modes. This allows you to choose the focusing method best suited for your shooting situation.

• AF (automatyczne ustawianie ostrości): In this mode, the camera's autofocus system will automatically focus the lens. This is suitable for most general photography.
• MF (ręczne ustawianie ostrości): In this mode, you manually rotate the focusing ring on the lens to achieve focus. This is useful for precise focusing in specific scenarios like macro photography, astrophotography, or when the autofocus struggles in low light.
