COMBINATION WITH TELE CONVERTER
Cautions for customization of lenses that corresponds to SIGMA APO TELE CONVERTER EX DG (herein
after, Tele Converter) will be explained as below.
When a lens attached to a Tele Converter is connected, the name of the lens that will be shown on Status
Window, as well as History of Connected Lens Window will appear and be recognized as a different lens as
below.
In case of 120-300mm F2.8 DG OS HSM S013
120-300mm F2.8 DG OS HSM S013
120-300mm F2.8 DG OS HSM S013 (1.4x)
120-300mm F2.8 DG OS HSM S013 (2x)
Focus setting
Focus setting data will be saved in the CPU of the lens as [Lens only], [Tele Converter 1.4x attached], and [Tele
Converter 2x attached]. Therefore, focus setting should be processed using each combination, according to
the condition of use.
For example, if focus setting of a lens was only processed as [Lens only], when you use the lens with Tele
Converter 1.4x, the adjusted value that was processed as [Lens only] will not be reflected, and auto focusing
will operate unadjusted.
Other customization
What you can set on Customization mode (AF Speed Setting, Focus Limiter setting, OS Setting) remain the
same regardless of whether the lens is attached or not attached to the Tele Converter.
