Canon issues an incompatibility warning relating to Sigma Art lenses

Canon has issued an incompatibility warning informing consumers that lens correction modes for Sigma Art lenses might not operate as intended on its DSLRs, including its new 5D Mark IV.

If you’ve noticed your new Sigma lenses aren’t playing in a friendly way with your Canon 5D Mark IV, you aren’t alone. Canon has officially released an incompatibility warning informing users that a handful of features on select Sigma lenses are not operating as they are intended to.

Specifically, Sigma says the Manual Override (MO) function on its lenses is unavailable on the Canon 5D Mark IV for the time being. Full-time manual mode, however, is fine and working perfectly, as you would expect.

In addition to the focusing issues, Sigma says almost all in-camera lens corrections settings that Canon offers on its 5D Mark IV (and other DSLRs) should be disabled, as they are not properly supported and can yield incorrect results, if any at all. These settings include Peripheral Illumination correction, Chromatic Aberration correction, Diffraction correction and Distortion correction.

This isn’t the first time Canon cameras and Sigma lenses haven’t played well together. After the release of the Canon 1DX Mark II, a handful of users noticed issues with Sigma’s Art series lenses, where strange rings would appear on the image as a result of a messed up lens correction mode.

There’s no word yet on when these issues will be addressed, either by Sigma or Canon. But if the last Canon/Sigma incident is anything to go by, there should be a firmware update to fix the issue very soon.

In the meantime, your best bet is to make the most of the lenses and camera if you have any combination that may be affected by these issues. If you come across the problem, adjust your settings accordingly and hope the issue is resolved quickly.

Fujifilm just gave its most popular instant camera a serious digital upgrade. The Instax Mini Evo 2 now comes with a touchscreen, larger sensor, and a video feature that captures four seconds before each photo. It is set to arrive by the end of November for $289.95.

Full-frame cameras tend to be chunky beasts, but Sigma wants to prove that big imaging doesn't need a big body. Enter the Sigma FP2, the successor to its tiny, boxy fp mirrorless camera. It keeps the same modular design but packs in some serious upgrades, including a 24.5-megapixel partially stacked full-frame sensor, improved autofocus, 6K video recording, and 70GB of built-in storage. Sigma calls it the world's smallest full-frame camera, and while it might be tiny, the same cannot be said for its price tag.

A phone thermal camera is one of those tools you don’t think you need until the first time it saves you from an expensive problem, and the Thermal Master P3 just got easier to try. For Halloween, it’s discounted with the code THERMCAM10, a 10% cut that works out to $107 off the total. It’s also fresh off a win at the 2026 Tom’s Guide AI Awards for best phone thermal camera, which is the kind of third-party nod that separates a serious tool from the cheap clip-on sensors that flood this category.
