■Conversion Lens and Close-up Lens Precautions

•Be sure to install the TELE CONVERTER ADAPTOR or WIDE CONVERTER ADAPTOR before installing a conversion lens or close-up lens.

•Carefully read the user documentation that comes with the conversion lenses and close-up lens for information about how to use them properly.

•Be sure to use the monitor screen to compose images while a conversion lens or close-up lens is installed on the camera. Do not use the viewfinder, because its image is not changed by the lens you are using. Also, there will be darkening around the edges of the image within the viewfinder.

•Installing a conversion lens or close-up lens can interfere

with proper operation of the camera’s built-in flash.

When using a conversion lens or close-up lens, select (Off) for the flash mode or use an external flash (page 149).

•When using a telephoto conversion lens, select Auto Focus as the focus mode (page 80).

•Using optical zoom to select wide angle while a telephoto conversion lens is installed can cause blackening around the edges of the image. Set optical zoom to telephoto (page 68).

•Use of a tripod is recommended to avoid camera movement during recording with a telephoto conversion lens.

•When installing a wide angle conversion lens, be sure to turn off the camera so the lens is retracted. This protects against scratching of the lens.

•When using a wide angle conversion lens, select Auto Focus or Macro () as the focus mode (page 80).

•The wide angle conversion lens may cause distortion of an image.

•When using a close-up lens, be sure to set the focus

mode to Macro () (page 80). Proper focus of a close- up image is not possible with any other focus mode.
