Installing a Conversion Lens or Close-up Lens

A conversion lens provides your camera with telephoto or wide angle capabilities. A close-up lens enables macro photography.

1.Turn off the camera, and

then remove the lens ring installed on its lens.

• If you experience difficulty when trying to remove the lens ring, try grasping it lightly with the tips of your thumb, forefinger, middle finger, and ring finger when you rotate it. Grasping the

lens ring strongly with your thumb and forefinger can put pressure on the ring and camera threads, making it difficult to rotate the lens ring.

2.Position the camera with the lens facing straight up. Install either the TELE CONVERTER ADAPTOR or WIDE CONVERTER ADAPTOR on the camera.

3.Install a conversion lens or close-up lens on the camera.

IMPORTANT!

•Installing a conversion lens or close-up lens can cause blackening around the edges of the image, which can interfere with proper operation of the camera’s phase differential sensor. Before recording an image, be sure to select “Contrast” for the Auto Focus mode. See “Selecting the Auto Focus (AF) Mode” on page 134 for more information.

NOTE

•Installing or removing the lens ring while the camera is turned on will cause it to turn off automatically.
