This 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 lens. 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. While 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 turning the focus ring.
((NIKON AF, PENTAX 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 the 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 lens 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 lens to expand and contract.
Special allowance
is made for this at the infinity setting.
\\Zooming))
Rotate the Rubber grip on the zoom ring to the desired position.

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
you could without using the OS function ofthis lens and can get sharp results.
Set the OS (Optical Stabilizer) switch to Mode 1 (fig.3). 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 properly.
•Shots from the a moving vehicle
·If there 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).
+Optical 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 position, 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 lens 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, DYNAX I
MAXXUM
50 or SONY A100 camera, please turn the OS switch of the lens off
before turning the camera body off. The OS unit of the lens will not fix into its
position if the camera body is turned off before switching off the lens' OS
mechanism. Ignoring this notice might cause damage to the lens.
+Optical Stabilizer feature can work with the Nikon AF cameras shown in the
following table. When using this lens with other camera models not listed
in the
following table, please set the OS Switch to OFF position to cancel the Optical
Stabilizer function.
Digital SLR Cameras and
F6
*From our homepage, you can check the latest information regarding the camera
models, which can

TRIPOD SOCKET AND COLLAR
This lens has a detachable tripod socket. When the locking knob on the collar is
loosened, the lens and camera can rotate freely to easily position the camera
horizontally or vertically (fig.4
).
To remove the tripod collar from the lens, first loosen and then disengage the locking
knob. (fig.5)

FLASH PHOTOGRAPHY
The camera's built-in flash will cause barrel shadow if used with this lens. For best
results, please only use
an
external flash unit.
DEPTH OF FIELD SCALE
The depth of field scale helps you to check the depth of field (the zone of sharpness)
of your composition. For example
in
figure (6), the depth of field zone
is
shown when
the aperture F16
is
used.

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.8)
+The
APS-C Hood Adapter
is
supplied with this lens. When using this dedicated
hood adapter with digital cameras with an APS-C size image sensor, it provides
more effective shading. Please attach the APS-C Hood Adapter between the lens
body and the lens hood. (fig.9)
+When
using this lens with digital cameras with a full frame or APS-H size image
sensor
as
well as film cameras, please do not attach the APS-C Hood Adapter. If
you use the APS-C Hood Adapter with above cameras, vignetting will occur.
+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).
(It
is
possible to
attach the lens hood
in
the reverse position and the front lens cap to the tip of the
APS-C Hood Adapter, even if the APS-C Hood Adapter
is
attached to the tip of lens.)
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.
+When
using filters with the APS-C Hood Adapter, please attach the filter to the filter
attachment thread of the lens. If the filter
is
attached to the tip of the APS-C Hood
Adapter, vignetting may occur.
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 of the lens approaches room temperature.
