Macro photography can only focus
on a small area. The impression
of a pholograph changes dramalical~
by making a small shift in the focusing
point. Use autofocus for quick focus,
and then turn the focus ring. When
you keep your attention on the
viewfinder and fine-tune the focus,
the difference in the finished photo
will be immediately apparent.

Perhaps you shoot a horizontal composition, then feel like taking a similar photo in a
vertical framing. With a regular tripod, the subject position through the viewfinder
inevitably shihs and the photographer has to refocus from the start. With a tripod mount
ring, however, you can maintain the position of the subject in the viewfinder - for an
easy, instant frame change to a vertical, horizontal, or even an angled composition.

What is full-time manual focus?
Use this function to make precise adiustments after focusing quickly on autofocus without switching to manual.
This brings out the full potential of the photographer's expressive abilities.
What is a tripod mount ring?
Tripods are normally attached directly to the camera body. lenses equipped with a tripod mount ring, however,
allow the tripod to be attached to the lens rather than the camera body. Accordingly, the camera rotates with the
lens at the axis, and after the macro lens is attached, the front/back weight distribution is improved. The result is
steady, blur·free photography.Tripod mount rings are available for the EF100mm f/2.8 Macro USM, and
supplied with the EF180mm f/3.5l Macro USM and the MP·E 65mm f/2.8 1·5x Macrophoto lenses.
