USER MANUAL EXT-CEM Vello

Black DSLR camera with coiled lens assembly against black background (no text or symbols visible)

INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing the Vello Manual Extension Tube Set. Extension tubes provide a practical way of adding macro performance to SLR camera setups. The Vello manual 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 eight combinations, allowing for greater control of the level of magnification.

MOUNTING OF THE EXTENSION TUBES

1. Whatever the desired extension tube combination, the terminal piece must be the lens mount tube in order to mount your lens to the camera. Then simply mount your lens as you would normally.

TIPS FOR USING THE VELLO EXTENSION TUBES

• As with all macro photography, images will have a very shallow depth of field. To increase depth of field, select a smaller aperture.
• Due to increased exposure times, a tripod and cable release or remote are always recommended for macro photography.
• Closer focusing can be achieved by using the larger extension tubes or by stacking the tubes.
• Make sure to set camera to manual exposure mode when using the Vello Manual Extension Tube Set.

TIPS FOR USING THE VELLO EXTENSION TUBES

• At extremely close distances, it may be difficult to focus. In such a case, use a macro focusing rail or manually set the lens to a desired focus point and then move the lens forward or back to achieve a sharp focus.
• When using extension tubes, on-camera flash may result in unsightly shadows and is therefore not recommended. For best results, off-camera flash, dedicated macro light, or other light sources are recommended.
