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.
