Using Conversion Lenses (Sold Separately)
Conversion Lens Adapter LA-DC58E and Lens Hood LH-DC40 are
included in the separately sold Lens Adapter/Hood Kit LAH-DC20.
The camera supports use of the separately sold Wide Converter WC-
DC58A, Tele-converter TC-DC58B and close-up lens 500D (58cm). In
order to attach any of these lenses, you also need to use the separately
sold Conversion Lens Adapter LA-DC58E (included with LAH-DC20).
When shooting in backlit conditions without the flash and at the wide
angle end, the use of the lens hood is recommended to prevent external
light from entering the lens.
Warning
z
When 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.
z
Never 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.
z If the built-in flash is used with the lens hood attached, the outer
edges of shot images (especially the lower right) may be
darkened.
z When using the wide converter, set the camera to the maximum
wide angle.
z When 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.
z Filters and lens hoods cannot be attached to the wide converter
and tele-converter lens.
