So, how does one use the macro switch? It appears locked..do I just need to push it down more? Or do I need to unlock it somehow and then push it down to switch to macro? I didn't want to use too much force trying to switch it down as I don't want to mess up the lens.
I think it says to have the focus ring between infinity and .5m..but isn't it BAD to adjust the focus ring manually while the camera is in auto focus mode??? Do I need to switch the camera to manual focus, turn the focus ring and then switch it back to AF? Or, it may be easier just to take the lens off then adjust the focus ring? I thought it was never good to mess with the focus ring too much if it's an AF lens.
I don't know a whole lot about AF lenses...most of my stuff was shot with an all manual camera and lens until recently.
Thanks!!!
