VELLO EXT-FXD2 Delux Auto AF Extension Tube Set
THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING VELLO
The Vello Extension Tube Kit provides a practical way of adding macro
performance to your camera setup. The Vello Extension tubes can be attached to
a variety of lenses for different effects and are less expensive than
dedicated macro lenses. The extension tubes can be stacked in several
combinations, allowing for greater control of the level of magnification.
PRECAUTIONS
- Using an extension tube provides extremely close focus for your lens, but you will not be able to focus to infinity while the extension tube is attached to your lens.
- The amount of transmitted light is reduced when using an extension tube. The light is reduced more when multiple extension tubes are used together. This reduction in transmitted light can affect the camera’s ability to auto focus. Manual focusing is recommended if the lens begins to hunt for a focus point.
- Images are for illustrative purposes only.
- Please read this instruction manual before using the product.
MOUNTING THE EXTENSION TUBES
- Line up the alignment marks on the tube and your camera.
- Line up the alignment marks on your lens and the tube.
REMOVING THE EXTENSION TUBES
TIPS FOR USING THE VELLO EXTENSION TUBES
- As with all macro photography, images will have a very shallow depth of field. To increase the depth of field, select a smaller aperture.
- Due to increased exposure times, a tripod and cable release or remote control are always recommended for macro photography.
- Closer focusing can be achieved by using the larger extension tubes or by stacking the tubes.
- Due to the increased distance between the lens and the sensor, the camera’s TTL system may not always be accurate. Use a manual exposure mode if this happens.
- At extremely close distances, focus may be difficult to achieve, via using auto or manual focus. If this is the case, use a macro focusing rail or set the lens manually to the desired focus point. Then, move the lens forward or back to achieve the sharpest focus.
- When using extension tubes, an on-camera flash is not recommended since it may result in unsightly shadows. For best results, use an off-camera flash, dedicated macro light, or another light source.
Note: There is no electronic aperture control when the extension tubes are used with Nikon AI lenses.
