Interesting. But I wonder if, for example a 300mm lens with a 1.4 converter, should have the SR set for a 300mm lens or 420mm (1.4 X 300) lens ? Any thoughts? Kenneth Waller - Original Message - From: "Godfrey DiGiorgi" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: The need to

It's in the menus. I think in custom functions. But if you mount the lens and turn SR on before turning the camera on, the SR adjustment screen will appear when you turn the camera on. Just set it to 600. I've set it to 800 with my 400 and 2X converter. Works nicely. Paul On Feb 1, 2007, at
