SIGMA 402171001 16mm Contemporary Lens
Thank you very much for purchasing a Sigma Lens. In order to get the maximum performance and enjoyment out of your Sigma lens, please read this instruction booklet thoroughly before you start to use the lens.
WARNING: SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
- Do not look directly at the sun, through the lens. Doing so can cause damage to the eye or loss of eyesight.
- Do not leave the lens in direct sunlight without the lens cap attached, whether the lens is attached to the camera or not. This will prevent the lens from concentrating the sun’s rays, which may cause a fire.
- The shape of the mount is very complex. Please be careful when handling it so as not to cause injury.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PARTS (fig.1)
- Filter Attachment Thread
- Focus Ring

FOR MICRO FOUR THIRDS MOUNT
This lens can be used with Micro Four Thirds™ System lens mount specification
cameras. You cannot use it on Four Thirds™ System lens mount specification
cameras.
FOR SONY E-MOUNT
This lens can be used with Sony camera system E-mount (APS-C format) cameras.
- You cannot use it on Sony A-mount cameras.
- In the camera setting, select “Auto” in the distortion compensation from the lens compensation menu.

ATTACHING TO THE CAMERA BODY
When this lens is attached to the camera body it will automatically function
in the same way as your normal lens. Please refer to the instruction booklet
for your camera body. On the lens mount surface, there are many electrical
contacts. Be careful not to damage them. If they are damaged, it may cause the
camera to malfunction.
FOCUSING
For autofocus operation, set the camera to autofocus mode. If you wish to
focus manually, set the camera to manual focus mode. You can adjust the focus
by turning the focus ring. Please refer to the camera’s instruction manual for
details on changing the camera’s focusing mode.
LENS HOOD
A bayonet type detachable hood is provided with the lens. This lens hood helps
to prevent are and ghost images caused by bright illumination from outside the
picture area. Attach the hood and turn clockwise until it stops rotation.
(fig.2)
- When taking photographs using the built-in flash, it is advisable to remove the lens hood so as to avoid cutting off any of the flash output, which could cause a shadow in the picture.
- In order to place the lens and hood into the storage case, you must first remove the hood, then replace it on the lens in the reverse position. (fig.3)
FILTER
Only one filter should be used at the time. Two or more filters and/or special
thicker filters, like a polarizing filter, may cause vignetting.
BASIC CARE AND STORAGE
- Avoid any shocks or exposure to extreme high or low temperatures or to humidity.
- For extended storage, choose a cool and dry place, preferably with good ventilation. To avoid damage to the lens coating, keep away from mothballs or naphthalene gas.
- Do not use thinner, benzine or other organic cleaning agents to remove dirt or finger prints from the lens elements. Clean by using a soft, moistened lens cloth or lens tissue.
- This lens is not waterproof. When you use the lens in the rain or near water, keep it from getting wet. It is often impractical to repair the internal mechanism, lens elements and electric components damaged by water.
- Sudden temperature changes may cause condensation or fog to appear on the surface of the lens. When entering a warm room from the cold outdoors, it is advisable to keep the lens in the case until the temperature of the lens approaches room temperature.
