ATTACHING TO CAMERA BODY

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.

be
sure
to
place
it
front end down to avoid damaging the rear mount.
SETTING THE EXPOSURE MODE

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.
