Attaching and removing
To attach the teleconverter
1Remove the camera body cap, rear lens cap, and teleconverter’s front and rear lens caps.
To remove the teleconverter’s caps, turn the front and rear lens caps counterclockwise.
2Align the mounting index on the lens barrel with the orange lens mounting index on the teleconverter. Insert the lens into the teleconverter mount and turn it clockwise until it locks into place.
•Do not press the lens release on the teleconverter when mounting the lens. The lens will not couple properly.
•Do not insert the lens at an angle.
3Align the mounting index for camera body on the teleconverter with the orange index on the camera. Insert the teleconverter into the camera mount and turn it clockwise until it locks into place.
•Do not press the lens release button on the camera when mounting the teleconverter. The teleconverter will not couple properly.
•Do not insert the teleconverter at an angle.
•Always attach the lens to the teleconverter before attaching the teleconverter to the camera. Attaching them in reverse order may result in incorrect metering.
•Do not use more than one teleconverter with a lens. Damage may result.
To remove the teleconverter
1Hold down the lens release button on the camera body and turn the teleconverter and lens counterclockwise until they stop. Carefully lift the teleconverter out of the camera mount.
2Hold down the lens release on the teleconverter and turn the lens counterclockwise until it stops. Carefully lift the lens out of the teleconverter mount.
Notes on shooting
While the teleconverter increases the focal length of the attached lens, it reduces the effective aperture of the attached lens.* The camera’s TTL metering compensates for the effective aperture automatically. The teleconverter does not affect the lens’ distance scale; it can be read in the normal way. The lens’ depth of field is shallower when using the teleconverter.*
*See the following specifications for further information.
•Because of the increase in focal length and decrease in effective aperture, use a tripod to reduce camera shake.
•In low light conditions, such as with dim fluorescent light, the camera may not be able to focus. Use focus lock on high contrast subject or manual focus.
