3. Podešavanje

3.1 Pričvršćivanje objektiva

1. Provjerite da li su i kamera i objektiv isključeni.
2. Skinite zadnji poklopac objektiva i poklopac kućišta fotoaparata.
3. Poravnajte oznaku za montažu na objektivu s odgovarajućom oznakom na kućištu fotoaparata.
4. Okrenite objektiv u smjeru kazaljke na satu (za Nikon F-mount) dok ne klikne na svoje mjesto. Nemojte silom pritiskati objektiv.

3.2 Odvajanje objektiva

1. Uvjerite se da je kamera isključena.
2. Dok držite pritisnuto dugme za otpuštanje objektiva na kućištu fotoaparata, rotirajte objektiv u smjeru suprotnom od kazaljke na satu dok se ne zaustavi.
3. Uklonite objektiv sa fotoaparata.
4. Pričvrstite zadnji poklopac objektiva na objektiv i poklopac tijela na fotoaparat kako biste ih zaštitili od prašine i oštećenja.

3.3 Pričvršćivanje sjenila objektiva

The lens hood helps to block extraneous light and reduce flare. Align the lens hood with the front of the lens and twist until it locks into place. For storage, the hood can be reversed and attached to the lens.

3.4 Korištenje ogrlice za stativ

The lens includes a removable tripod collar for better balance when mounted on a tripod, especially given the lens's weight. Loosen the knob on the collar to rotate the lens for vertical or horizontal shooting, or to remove the collar entirely.

4. Operacija

4.1 Automatsko fokusiranje (AF) i ručno fokusiranje (MF)

The lens features a switch to select between Autofocus (AF) and Manual Focus (MF) modes. In AF mode, the Hypersonic Motor (HSM) provides fast and quiet focusing. Full-time manual focus override is available, allowing you to fine-tune focus manually even when in AF mode by simply turning the focus ring.

4.2 Optički stabilizator (OS)

The Optical Stabilizer (OS) function helps to reduce camera shake, especially useful in low light or when shooting at longer focal lengths. The OS switch allows you to turn the stabilization ON or OFF. This lens offers two OS modes:

• Način 1 (Normalni): For general shooting, compensating for vertical and horizontal camera shake.
• Način rada 2 (Pomicanje): For tracking moving subjects horizontally, compensating only for vertical camera shake.

Napomena:

• Turn the OS OFF when using a tripod to prevent potential image blur.
• The OS may produce a slight sound during operation; this is normal.

4.3 Zumiranje

Rotate the zoom ring to adjust the focal length between 70mm and 200mm. The internal zooming mechanism ensures the lens length remains constant.

4.4 Using with APS-C Cameras

When used with APS-C (crop sensor) cameras, the effective focal length will be approximately 105-300mm (depending on the camera's crop factor). This provides an even greater telephoto reach.

4.5 Using with Teleconverters

This lens is compatible with Sigma APO teleconverters (sold separately) to further extend its focal length. Refer to the teleconverter's manual for specific attachment and usage instructions.

5. Održavanje

5.1 Čišćenje objektiva

• Koristite četkicu za puhanje da biste uklonili prašinu sa površine objektiva.
• For smudges or fingerprints, use a clean, soft microfiber cloth specifically designed for optics, along with a small amount of lens cleaning solution.
• Never use harsh chemicals or abrasive materials on the lens elements or body.

5.2 Skladištenje
