Sigma’s Sigma 100-400mm F5-6.3 DG DN OS | Contemporary needs to be returned to Sigma for firmware update which is unfortunate since most lenses flash pretty easily through the camera now or with a USB dock or even a USB port on the lens. Since they recommend you check your firmware version before contacting them there maybe firmware version 2 lenses already shipping.
