How to use
II Mounting and Dismounting
1. Turn off the camera's main switch and remove the master lens from the camera.
2. Match the white spot on the front of the TELEPLUS (on the master lens side) to
the indicator on the master lens mount, and turn counterclockwise until it clicks.
3. Match the white spot at the rear of the TELEPLUS (camera body
side) to the index mark on the camera body and turn
counterclockwise until it clicks.
* When mounting a TELEPLUS, please be sure that you hear the
"click" sound which confirms correct mounting .
4. The procedure for dismounting the TELEPLUS is same as the
procedure for mounting, but
in the reverse order.
II Notes regarding focusing functionality
• Since the depth of field becomes shallow, the AF may have some
difficulty finding correct focus. Ifthis is so, then you must focus
manually. Also, vignetting may occur.
• When used for a fixed focal length lens whose fully open f-stop
value is darker than F3.5
or a zoom lens whose fully open f-stop
value changes (eg, F3.5-5.6, etc.), the AF may not operate, so you
must focus manually.
•
You may not be able to use the AF when the batteries in the camera
are depleted. Even ifthe batteries are not completely depleted, if you
find yourself unable to use the
AF, you should change the batteries.
• When using a TELEPLUS, motion prediction AF may not work correctly.
• Note regarding cameras with F8 sensors built in TELEPLUS is not
compatible with F8 sensors, so when the composite f-stop value
exceeds F5.6 (when the f-stop value
of the master lens exceeds
F2.8), you must focus manually.
• When using a macro lens, the AF may operate slowly.
In that
situation, first adjust the focus roughly using the focus ring, and
then use the AF to achieve a more precise focus.

ED
AF inoperable lenses AF-S NIKKOR 14-24mm F2.8G ED
AF-S NIKKOR 24-?0mm F2.8G ED
• How to determine the exposure
TELEPLUS supports each exposure mode. When using a TELEPLUS,
the f-stop value is increased (darker) by 2 stop, but the aperture value
will be automatically corrected to the composite f-stop value, so you
can shoot as is. However, depending on the subject and the conditions
of photography, exposure compensation may be necessary. When
using the TELEPLUS, you should adjust the amount of exposure to
your own personal satisfaction.
(Please use the exposure compensation function on the camera)
II About the use of Speedlite flashes
Although the use of Speedlite flash is possible, the maximum
dimming range is 0.5 times.
II Notes regarding the display of aperture values
The aperture values are displayed as conversions to the actual F
numbers that apply.
* Because the lens portion of the TELEPLUS serves as a fixed
aperture, it cannot be used with an aperture where the master lens
would be at a brighter F number than 1.8. Even
if the TELEPLUS
were set to an F stop
of 1.2, it would take photographs at F1.8 and
result in incorrect exposure.

II Important notes about using the TELEPLUS
• Do not use with lenses that have electrical contacts and aperture ring
(D type of Ai S or AF- S, etc.). Otherwise it will cause an error. It
cannot be used manually.
* Since there is no aperture ring, information concerning the
aperture cannot be transmitted, so an error will occur.
• For
AF- S (G IE type) lenses only. It does not correspond to Ai
interlocking claws, etc. Therefore, it cannot be used with cameras not
compatible with
AF- S (G IE type) lenses. (For digital cameras only.)
• Please turn off the
VR (camera shake correction function) to
prevent malfunctions.
• Please do not use this product with other teleconverters in multiple
connections.
• This product is compatible with Nikon genuine lenses and Tokina
lenses. It is not compatible with any other lenses. Please do not use
lenses
of other manufacturers as it will cause malfunction. We
cannot respond to problems that arise from using lenses other than
Nikon genuine lenses and Tokina lenses.
• We cannot respond to problems arising from equipment combina-
tions that cannot be used.
• When not using this product, remove it from the camera and attach
the front and rear lens caps according to the indexes to prevent dirt
and scratches on the lens part, etc.
• When the lens is not mounted, since the interlocking lever
of the
TELEPLUS is floating, a 'rattling' sound may be heard but it is not a
malfunction.
• If
you do not operate the camera for a while and the camera enters standby
mode, communication of the lens signal stops between the camera and the
TELEPLUS, after which it is not possible to respond immediately to a
shutter release. Please
press the shutter release button in halfway before
shooting, or set the "half-press timer" of the camera in advance.
<About Exif (camera data) information>
Image data (focus length I stop numbers) that are recorded as Exit
information, reflect the data when the TELEPLUS is attached.
For example: When 100 mm f 2.8 is mounted
The lens data is recorded as 200mm f5.6.
* If you check Exif information via image processing software, the
name
of the lens used may not be displayed for shots where the
TELEPLUS was used.
