SR with Sigma AF 18-250mm f3.5-6.3 DC OS HSM Lens

noblepa · 12-23-2019, 11:45 AM

I just purchased this lens. It is my first Sigma lens.

It has in-lens Optical Stabilization, despite being a Pentax mount lens.

I plan to use it on my K-5.

My question is, how does the in-lens stabilization work with the in-camera stabilization in my camera?

Should I turn one or the other off?

If I leave both turned on, will the stabilization systems become confused and work against each other?

Thanks

Yes. Pick one or the other. I'd recommend going with in-camera SR, as it automatically factors in different drive modes, and in-lens is easier to disable.
