Using Conversion Lenses (Optional) /

Close-up Lenses (Optional)

The separately sold Conversion Lens Adapter LA-DC58B is required to use conversion and close-up lenses with the camera, such as the separately sold Wide Converter WC-DC58N, Tele-converter TC-DC58N and Close-up Lens 250D (58 mm). (The Wide Converter WC-DC58 and the Tele-converter TC-DC58 for the PowerShot G1/G2 are not recommended since shooting problems may occur.)

• Ensure that the wide converter, tele-converter and close-up lens are firmly screwed onto the adapter. Injury from glass shards can occur if the lens loosen and fall off.

•Never aim the wide converter, tele-converter or close-up lens directly at the sun or bright lights.
