Autofocus (AF) Operation

The VILTROX 15mm F1.7 lens utilizes an STM (Stepping Motor) for fast, quiet, and precise autofocus. When attached to a compatible Sony E-mount camera, the lens supports various AF modes, including Eye AF and Face Detection AF, which are particularly useful for portrait and vlogging scenarios. Ensure your camera's AF settings are configured as desired.

Manual Focus (MF) Operation

For situations requiring precise control, the lens supports manual focus. Switch your camera to MF mode. Rotate the focus ring on the lens to adjust focus. Your camera's focus peaking and magnification features can assist in achieving critical focus.

Ovládání clony

The F1.7 large aperture allows for significant control over depth of field and excellent performance in low-light conditions. You can adjust the aperture directly from your camera body, or if the lens has an aperture ring, use that to set your desired f-stop. A wider aperture (smaller f-number) will create a shallower depth of field, blurring the background and isolating your subject.
