Using Conversion Lenses (Sold Separately)When attaching the Wide Converter WC-DC58A, Tele-converter TC-DC58B, and Close-up Lens 500D (58 mm) (each sold separately) you also need the Conversion Lens Adaptor LA-DC58E (included with the separately sold Lens Adaptor/Hood Kit LAH-DC20).
zWhen attaching the wide converter, tele-converter or close-up lens, be sure to screw it on securely. If they come loose, they may fall from the lens adapter, posing risk of injury from shattered glass.
zNever look into the sun or into strong light through the wide converter, tele-converter or close-up lens as this can result in blindness or impairment of vision.
zIf the built-in flash is used with the lens hood attached, the outer edges of shot images (especially the lower right) may be darkened.
zWhen using the wide converter, set the camera to the maximum wide angle.
zWhen using the tele-converter, set the camera near the maximum telephoto. At other zoom settings, the image will appear as if its corners have been cut off.
