FAQs
How do I switch between wide-angle and macro modes?
To use the wide-angle lens, attach the complete unit. To use the macro lens, carefully unscrew the front wide-angle element.
Will this work with my phone case?
The clip is designed for devices up to 30mm thick. It works best with thinner cases or no case at all. Very thick or rigid cases may prevent proper alignment.
What is the magnification of the macro lens?
The product description specifies a macro function for detailed close-up shots but does not provide a specific magnification factor. Experiment with distance to find the optimal focal range.
Does the lens affect the phone's autofocus?
The lens works as an add-on. Your phone's autofocus will still function, but focusing distances may change, especially in macro mode where very close focus is required.
How do I clean the lens elements?
Use the provided microfiber cloth. Gently wipe the lens in a circular motion. For stubborn smudges, a lens cleaning solution specifically designed for optics can be used sparingly on the cloth, not directly on the lens.
What is included in the package?
The package includes: one attachment clip, lens caps (front and rear), a cleaning cloth, a pouch case, and a metal chain.
Can I use this on a tablet?
Yes, the universal clip is designed to attach to devices up to 30mm thick, which includes most tablets.
Troubleshooting
Vignetting or dark corners in photos
Ensure the clip is perfectly centered over the device's camera lens. Try adjusting the position slightly. Remove any bulky phone cases that might interfere with alignment.
Lens attachment feels loose or unstable
Check that the spring clip is fully extended and firmly gripping the device. Ensure the stabilization plate is making good contact with the device's body.
Blurry images, especially in macro mode
In macro mode, you need to be very close to the subject (typically 1-2 cm). Hold the device steady and ensure the lens is parallel to the subject. For wide-angle, ensure the lens is clean and properly attached.
Difficulty in converting to macro lens
Gently twist the front wide-angle element counter-clockwise to detach it. Ensure you are not forcing it. Store the wide-angle element safely when using the macro function.
