Configuración
Colocación da lente na cámara
- Asegúrate de que tanto a cámara como a lente estean apagadas.
- Retire a tapa traseira da lente e a tapa do corpo da cámara.
- Align the mounting index marks (usually a white dot or line) on the lens with the corresponding mark on the camera body.
- Insert the lens into the camera's lens mount and rotate it clockwise (for Nikon F-mount) until it clicks into place. Do not force the lens.
- To detach, press the lens release button on the camera body and rotate the lens counter-clockwise until it detaches.
Colocación do parasol da lente
The included lens hood helps to block extraneous light, reducing flare and ghosting. Align the mark on the lens hood with the mark on the front of the lens and rotate it clockwise until it locks securely. For storage, the lens hood can be reversed and attached to the lens.
Funcionamento da lente
Focalización
- Enfoque automático (AF): Set the focus mode switch on the lens (if present) or camera to AF. The Hyper Sonic Motor (HSM) provides quiet and high-speed autofocusing.
- Enfoque manual (MF): Set the focus mode switch to MF. Rotate the focus ring to achieve sharp focus. This lens also features full-time manual focus override, allowing you to fine-tune focus manually even when in AF mode by simply rotating the focusing ring.
Zoom
Rotate the zoom ring to adjust the focal length between 50mm and 150mm. The lens features an inner zooming system, meaning the overall length of the lens does not change during zooming.

This lens maintains a constant maximum aperture of F2.8 throughout its entire zoom range. This allows for consistent exposure and depth-of-field control regardless of the focal length selected. The minimum aperture is F22.
Using with Tele-Converters
This lens is compatible with Sigma 1.4x EX DG and 2x EX DG APO Tele-Converters, extending its focal length capabilities. Refer to the tele-converter's instruction manual for proper attachment and usage.
