Attaching and removing

To attach the teleconverter

Remove 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.

2

  Align 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.

3

  Align 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

1

  Hold 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.

2

  Hold 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.
