in fact i dun understand also, with or without make any diff to the pic taken?

it just switch off the passive IR focus assist. when you have a lens on, the IR assist (located at the base of the flash) would not work properly cos it's blocked by the lens.

in this case if we set to yes won't we lost some help on focusing? is it the reason if we set to yes we get slower auto focus?

so in conclusion..

just set to no if ur using the adaptor ring w/o conversion lenses..

am i rite..?

i am thinking the IR assist will be blocked by a TC or WC anyway, whether you switch Adapter Ring on or off, as most of them measure 72mm minimum diameter, and directly in line with the IR assist.

Anyway, when i switch the Adapter Ring to On, the lens part seems to make a sound too, so perhaps there is something else going on other than the IR assist switching off.

hi guys! i've noticed something with regard 2 the adapter on/off setting thingy.

at max wa or tele, with the adapter ring physically attached 2 the cam n adapter setting put 2 "on"; the pic taken appears nearer or bigger.

if its set 2 "off", the pic appears slightly further away or smaller. no noticeable difference if the adapter ring is not attached 2 the cam when playing around with the on/off setting.

i dunno whether its part of the characteristic so maybe u guys can try it out n enlighten me. still very new 2 photography. cheers!

The adapter ring is not the lens adapter (for eg 55-52 or 55-55mm) rite? Is there a tele or WA been attached?

I think the zoom was set differently for the 2 shots, which will explain the difference you stated.

mmmm i just did a v simple test....

Did u make sure u zoom out to the widest each time u too the pic?

Cos sometimes the camera when switch off will auto zoom in a little at power up....

From my test....not wider or bigger...its the same.

Shld be quite accurate cos i did it on a tripod...
