Налаштування та встановлення

The Sony FE 2.0x Teleconverter is designed for easy attachment between a compatible Sony E-mount lens and a Sony E-mount camera body.

Сумісність:

This teleconverter is currently compatible with Sony G Master lenses such as the SEL70200GM, SEL100400GM, and SEL400F28GM. Always verify lens compatibility before attachment to prevent damage.

Процедура кріплення:

  1. Ensure both your camera and lens are powered off.
  2. Remove the rear lens cap from your compatible lens and the body cap from your camera.
  3. Attach the teleconverter to the camera body by aligning the mounting index marks on both components. Rotate the teleconverter clockwise until it clicks into place.
  4. Attach the lens to the teleconverter by aligning the mounting index marks on both components. Rotate the lens clockwise until it clicks into place.
  5. To detach, press the lens release button on the camera body (or teleconverter) and rotate the component counter-clockwise.

Caution: Avoid touching the lens elements or the camera's image sensor during attachment or detachment to prevent dust or damage.

Інструкція з експлуатації

When the 2.0x teleconverter is attached, the focal length of your lens is doubled. For example, a 100-400mm lens becomes a 200-800mm lens. This extension comes with certain optical considerations.

Impact on Aperture:

The 2.0x teleconverter results in a 2-stop loss of light. This means the maximum aperture of your lens will decrease by two stops. For instance, if your lens has a maximum aperture of f/4, with the 2.0x teleconverter, the effective maximum aperture will become f/8. This is a physical characteristic of teleconverters and should be considered when shooting in low-light conditions.

Продуктивність автофокусування:

While the teleconverter is designed to maintain the autofocus performance of compatible lenses, a slight reduction in AF speed or accuracy may be observed, particularly in challenging lighting conditions or with fast-moving subjects. For optimal performance, ensure sufficient light and consider using appropriate AF modes for your subject.

Якість зображення:

The teleconverter is engineered to deliver impressive optical performance. However, the addition of extra glass elements can lead to a minor decrease in overall image sharpness and clarity compared to using the prime lens alone. This effect is generally minimal with high-quality teleconverters like the SEL20TC, but it is a factor to consider for critical applications.

Технічне обслуговування

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your teleconverter.

  • Прибирання: Use a soft, lint-free cloth to clean the exterior of the teleconverter. For lens elements, use a lens brush to remove dust, followed by a lens cleaning solution and a microfiber cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  • Зберігання: When not in use, attach the front and rear caps to the teleconverter. Store it in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
  • Пило- та вологостійкість: The teleconverter features a dust and moisture resistant design. While this provides enhanced protection, it does not make the unit waterproof. Avoid exposing it to heavy rain or direct water spray.
