Converter Settings
Set the camera appropriately after attaching the Wide Converter WC-
DC58A or the Tele-converter TC-DC58B (no setting is needed for the
500D Close-Up lens).
1 Select [Converter] from the [ (REC)] menu.
2 Use the W or X button to select the attached converter.
3 Press the MENU button.
When Image Stabilizer is set to anything other than [Off], an icon appears
for the lens selected in Step 2 in place of the image stabilizer icon on the
LCD monitor (or viewfinder).
z You should not shoot images in (Stitch Assist) mode when
using these attachments. Although it is possible to select this
mode on the camera, the PhotoStitch software will not be able to
stitch the images together on the computer.
z To protect the conversion lens, hold the camera's lens with one
hand and screw the conversion lens onto the camera with the
other hand.
z Completely remove all dust and dirt from conversion lenses with a
lens blower brush before use. The camera may focus on any dirt
that remains.
z Be careful when handling the lenses so as not to get fingerprints
on them.
z Once the lens adapter is screwed on the camera, it locks into
place. When removing the wide converter, the tele-converter or
the close-up lens, do so while firmly pressing on the lens adapter
with your hand to avoid damage to the lenses.
When you remove the converter from the camera, return the converter
setting to [None].
