GETTING ACQUAINTED

IMPORTANT!

•Be sure to use the Conversion Lens Adaptor when- ever you install a conversion lens or filter. If you don’t, the lens will come into contact with the conversion lens or filter when it extends from the camera, result- ing in malfunction. (QV-2300UX only)

•Flash is disabled while a conversion lens is being used.

•Setting the camera to wide-angle zoom while the Tele Conversion Lens causes shadows around the periph- ery of the image. This is because the frame of the at- tached filter or lens blocks some of the light coming into the lens. Because of this, you should always use telephoto zoom whenever you are using the Tele Con- version Lens.

•The effects of hand shake are magnified while the Tele Conversion Lens is being used. Whenever you are using a conversion lens, install the cushion that comes with it and mount the camera on a tripod so it is secure.

•Due to certain characteristics of the Wide Conversion Lens, you may notice some slight distortion in images recorded with it installed.

•Make sure that (Macro Mode) is selected as the focus mode whenever you are using the Wide Conver- sion Lens.

•Note that optical zoom is restricted a shown below in the Macro Mode .

*QV-2300UX: 1X fixed (QV-2300UX)

*QV-2800UX: 1X to 1.6X (QV-2800UX)

•Use of the flash while a commercially available lens hood is installed may not produce desired results.

Filters

•The designs of some filters can cause shadows around the periphery of the image.

•Auto focus and flash may not produce desired results while a filter is on the lens.

•Filters do not produce exactly the same results as those obtained with a film-based camera.

•Do not use multiple filters in combination.

Lens Precautions

•Fingerprints, dust, or any other soiling of the lens can inter- fere with proper image recording. Never touch the lens with your fingers. You can remove dust particles from the lens surface by using a lens blower to blow them off. Next, wipe the surface of the lens with a soft lens cloth.

•The lens of this camera extends from its body when you turn on power and retracts when you turn off power. Take care not to subject the lens to undue force or impact, and never set the camera face down so the lens is in contact with a tabletop, etc. Be sure to remove the lens cap before turning on the camera.

•Never remove the camera’s batteries or unplug its AC adaptor while the lens is extended. Doing so leaves the lens extended, and creates the risk of lens damage.
