FOCUSING
AND
ZOOMING
This lens features Sigma's
built-in
Hyper Sonic
Motor
(HSM). The HSM enables
quick and
quiet
autofocusing.
((SIGMA and
CANON))
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))
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 mount,
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.
+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.
This lens also
permits
manual focusing even in
the
autofocus mode. While
half
pressing
the
shutter
button,
rotate
the
focus ring
to
adjust
the
point
of
focus.
Also,
this
lens can
offer
[Full-time
MF
function]
(Manual Override) by
rotating
the
focus ring
of
the
lens while auto focusing is in operation. The
default
setting
of
Full-time
MF
function
varies
for
each mount.

FLASH
PHOTOGRAPHY
The camera's
built-in
flash
will

this
lens. For
best results, please only use an
external
flash
unit.
LENS
HOOD
A bayonet
type
detachable
hood is provided
with
the
lens. This lens hood
helps
to
prevent
flare
and ghosted images caused by
bright
illumination
from
outside
the
picture
area.
Attach
the
hood and
turn
clockwise
until
it
stops
rotation. (fig.3)
+In
order
to
place
the
tens and hood
into
the
storage case, you
must
first
remove
the
hood,
then
replace
it
on
the
lens in
the
reverse position. (fig.4)
FILTER
+Only
one
filter
should be used
at
the
time.
Two
or more
filters
and/or
special
thicker
filters,
like a polarizing filter, may cause vignetting.
+When
using a polarizing
filter
with
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 you use
the
lens
in
the
rain
or
near water,
keep
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.

SIGMA
To our valued customer

New concept, new line.
When you're
taking
photos,
your
lens is
critical
to
capturing
the
desired image. Changing
your lens changes the photos you take. By
selecting
and changing
the
lens
to
suit
the
purposeand
the
situation,
the
photographer
creates a personal
camera
system
that
serves his
or
her
specific needs. This is
the
system we know as
the
SLR camera,
and
its
performance
depends
on
lens selection.
Changinglenses changes
the
photos
you take. And
that
can
impact
on
your
enjoyment.
It
can even change your approach
to
photography. SIGMA has worked
to
enrich
the
world
of
photography
through
the
development
of
our
lenses.
We
think,
making
the
right
cho
ice
and
getting
the
perfect
shot is
what
it's
all
about. It's
not
always simple,
but
it
shouldn't
be
achore. That'swhy
we
decided
to
radically
reorganize our lens
line-up.
Therefore, we've grouped our new lens
models
into
three
product
lines. Each line has
been assigned aclearly
defined
concept. From now on,
all
our
products
will
be developed
and
presented
in
terms
of
how
they
embody
these
three
concepts.
We
want
to
make
the
choice
of
instruments
more
straightforward
to
he
lp
realize
the
full
potential
of
the
DLSR
system,
making
photography more
fun
for
photographers.
Sigma may be a
small
company,
but
we're
determined
to
effect
some big changes. And
this
is
just
the
beginning.
