Using a conversion lens

Using a conversion lens (not supplied) will allow you to shoot with enhanced wide or telephoto effects. For details, please consult the operating instructions supplied with your conversion lens.

•Always turn off the camera before mounting or removing the conversion lens. Failure to do so may result in damage or other malfunction.

•When using the built-in flash, the light from the built-in flash may be blocked, causing the lens shadow to appear. We recommend using the Sony optional external flash.
