Th is lens functions in the same way as a G Type auto-focus Nikon lens {without an aperture
ring). Functions may be restricted depending on the lens/camera combination. For more
details, please refer to the camera's instruction manual.
PENTAX AF TYPE CAMERAS
This Lens functions same as a FAJ Type (type without Aperture) auto-focus Pentax lens.
Depending on the combination with camera some restrictions with its functions may result.
For more details, please refer to instruction manual
of the camera in use etc.
ATTACHING TO CAMERA BODY
When this lens is attached to the camera body it will automatically function in the same way
as the camera manufacturer's le
ns . Please refer to the instruction booklet for your camera
body.
+On the lens mount surface, there are a number of couplers and electrical contacts.
Please keep them clean to ensure
proper connection.
+Whi le changing the lens, be sure to place it front end down to avoid damaging the rear
mount
SETTING THE EXPOSURE MODE
The Sigma lens functions automatically once attached to the camera. Please refer to the
camera instruction book.
FOCUSING AND ZOOMING
This lens features Sigma's built-in Hyper Sonic Motor (HSM) . The HSM enables quick and
quiet autofocusing.
(
SIGMA AF and CANON AF )
For autofocus operation, set the focus
mode switch on the lens to the " AF ~ position (fig.2). If
you wish to focus manually, set the focus mode switch on the lens to the
~ M ~ position. You
can adjust the focus by tu rn ing the focus ring.
(
NIKON AF , PENT AX AF, and SONY )
For autofocus operation, set the camera to AF mode and set the focus mode switch on the
lens to the "
AF " position (fig.2). If you wish to focus manually, set the focus mode switch on
the lens to the
"M ~ position. You can adjust t he focus by turning the focus ring.
+Please refer to camera's instruction manual for details on changing the camera's
focusing mode.
+For Nikon, Pentax and Sony mounts, it is only possible to use AF with camera bodies
which support motors driven by ultrasonic waves such as HSM.
AF will not function if
the camera
body does not support this type of motor.
+This fe ns also permits manual focusing even in the autofocus mode. With the camera
set to the One-Shot
AF (AF-S) mode, it is possible to manually override the autofocus
while the shutter release button is pressed halfway.
+When operating this lens in manual focus mode, it is recommended that correct focus be
confirmed visually in the viewfinder rather than relying on the distance scale. This is
due to possible focus shift resulting from extreme changes in temperature which cause
various components in the le
ns to expand and contract. Special allowance is made for
this
at the infinity setting.
«
Zooming »
Rotate the Rubber grip on the zoom
ri ng to the desired position.
ZOOM LOCK SWITCH
This lens is also equipped with Zoom Lock Switch to eliminate the zoom creep when the
lens is tilted down. Please set zooming ring to
150mm and set the zoom lock switch to the
U LOCK ~ position, (fig.3), however. please slide the lens to the "UNLOCK" position from
"
LOCK " position, before taking the picture.
ABOUT OS (OPTICAL STABILIZER) FEATURES
This OS (Optical Stabilizer) lens effectively compensates for image blurring caused by
camera shake.
With this lens, you can take pictures
at shutter speeds approx 4 steps slower than yo u
could without using the OS function
of this lens and can get sharp results.
Set the
OS (Optical Stabilizer) switch to Mode 1 (fig. 4) . Press the shutter button halfway
down, confirm the image in the viewfinder is stable then take the picture. (It takes
approximately 1 second to produce a stable image, after pressing the shutter button
halfway). Mode
2, detects the vertical camera shake, and overcomes blurring. It is effective
on subjects moving horizontal to the camera.
+The blurring compensation function of Optical Stabilizer is effective for hand-held
shooting. In the following conditions, Optical Stabilizer may not function property.
• Shots from the a moving vehicle • If t
he re is a considerable camera motion or shake.
+Please do not use Optical Stabilizer in the following situations.
• When the lens is mounted on a tripod. • Bulb (long time exposure).
+Opt ical Stabilizer function is powered from the camera. If the OS lens is attached to your
camera and activated, shooting capacity
of your camera will be lower than with
conventional lenses used with the same camera.
If you are not using Optical Stabilizer,
please turn
OFF the OS switch. in order to prevent consumption of a battery.
+Be sure to turn of OS switch to OFF pos ition, before attaching or detaching the lens to
the camera.
+The Optical Stabilizer continues to operate after you release your finger from the shutter
button, as long as the exposure meter displays the exposure value. Never remove the
lens
or remove the camera's battery while the image stabilizer is operating, you could
damage the lens.
+Although the viewfinder image may appear to shake immediately after shooting and at
the start of the flash charge cycle of the built-in flash of the camera etc., it will not cause
any effect on pictures.
+If the camera power is turned off or lens is detached while the Optical Stabilizer function
is in operation, the le
ns may emit a chattering noise, but this is not a malfunction.
+For Sony and Pentax mounts, it is only possible to use the OS function, incorporated in
this lens. with camera bodies which support motors driven by ultrasonic
waves such as
HSM. When using the
OS function, please turn off the optical stabilizer function of the
camera body and set the
OS switch of the lens to ON. When using the camera's optical
stabilizer function, please
set the OS switch of the lens to OFF and turn the camera's
optical stabilizer function on.
+If using this lens with a KONICA MINOLTA DYNAX I MAXXUM 70, OYNAX I MAXXUM
50 or SONY A100 camera, please turn the OS switch of the lens off before turning the
camera body off. The

becoming a 210-?00mm F?-9 telephoto zoom lens or a 300-1000mm F10-13 telephoto
zoom lens respectively (both can
be used in manual focus only) .
+Do not use other manufacturers' teleconverter's, only those listed above are compatible.
+The Pentax mount Tele Converter is not compatible with this particular lens.
+We recommend the DG APO Tele-Converters when using with DSLR cameras.
+It is possible to use auto focus in Live View if the camera is in "contrast detect" AF mode.
LENS HOOD
A bayonet type detachable 'hood is provided with the lens. This lens hood helps to
prevent flare and ghosted images caused by extraneous light. Attach the hood and turn
clockwise until it stops rotating. (fig.9)
+In order to place the lens and hood into the storage case, you must first remove the hood,
then replace it
on the lens in the reverse position. (fig.1 0)
FILTER
+Only one filter should be used at a time. Two or more filters and/or special, thicker
filters, such as a polarizing filter, may cause vignetting.
+When using a polarizing filter with an AF camera, use the "circular" type.
BASIC CARE AND STORAGE
+Avoid any shocks or exposure to extreme high or low temperatures or to humidity.
+For extended storage, choose a cool and dry place, preferably with good ventilation. To
avoid damage to the lens coating, keep away from mothballs or naphthalene gas.
+Do not use thinner, benzine or other organic cleaning agents to remove dirt or finger
prints from the lens elements. Clean by using a soft, moistened lens cloth or lens
tissue.
+This lens is not waterproof. When using the lens in the rain or near water, prevent it
from getting wet.
It is often impractical to repair the internal mechanism, lens elements
and electric components damaged by water.
+Sudden temperature changes may cause condensation or fog to appear on the surface
of the lens. When entering a warm room from the cold outdoors, it
is advisable to keep
the lens
in the case until the temperature ofthe lens approaches room temperature.
