  4. Contrast AF issues fixed for some of SIGMA70/2.8ART lenses. To apply the patch, edit SETTINGS.INI on the adapter and change the value of “Sigma70ArtFix=” from 0 to 1.

Note: There are two versions of SIGMA70/2.8Art in the market. One of them doesn’t work properly on GFX50S/50R/50SII cameras with severe focus shifting and focus hunting problems. The other version works normally. The two versions can’t be identified by the appearance of the lens. Thus, please turn on the patch only if you encountered the said issues. Or it may cause other problems.
