Attaching teleconverter to camera

body

Make sure that the camera's power is turned off and avoid direct sunlight.

To attach

Attach the camera to the lens/teleconverter assembly so that the camera's mounting index is aligned with the teleconverter-camera index on the teleconverter. Taking care not to press the camera's lens release button, turn the camera body counterclockwise (with the camera body facing away from you) until it clicks into place.

If your camera has a lift-up meter coupling lever, make sure that the meter coupling lever is correctly positioned. (For details, see your camera User's

Manual.)

To remove

While pressing the lens release button on the camera body, turn the camera body clockwise (with the camera body facing away from you) until the teleconverter-camera index is aligned with the camera's lens mounting index.

Determining exposure

Using this teleconverter with a lens decreases the

En

effective aperture by two stops.

 

With AI-type cameras with/without CPU contacts: Determine exposure in the same manner as using the prime lens only. (However, exposure cannot be determined with the G-type lens.)

With non-AI-type cameras: Perform stop-down method. (However, exposure cannot be determined with the G-type lens.)

See your camera User's Manual for available exposure modes and metering systems.
