Close-up Lenses (Optional)
The separately sold Conversion Lens Adapter LA-DC58 is required to use
conversion and close-up lenses with the camera, such as the separately sold Wide
Converter WC-DC58, Tele-converter TC-DC58 and Close-up Lens 250D (58 mm).
Ensure that the wide converter, tele-converter and close-up lens are firmly screwed
onto the adapter. Injury from glass shards can occur if the lens loosen and fall off.
Never aim the wide converter, tele-converter or close-up lens directly at the sun or
bright lights.
Wide Converter WC-DC58
This 58 mm-threaded diameter
magnifying conversion lens is for
taking wide angle shots. The lens
augments the focal length of the
camera bodys lens by a factor of 0.8.
Tele-converter TC-DC58
This 58 mm-threaded diameter
magnifying conversion lens is for
taking telephoto shots. The lens
augments the focal length of the
camera bodys lens by a factor of 1.5.
An externally mounted flash may not automatically adjust its output when a
conversion lens is mounted on the camera. You may have to set the camera to
manual mode and set the shutter speed and aperture to appropriate settings in
this case.
Do not attach filters or lens hoods to the wide converter or tele-converter.
When using the built-in flash to shoot, a portion of the image may be blocked by
the wide converter or tele-converter and appear dark.
When using the viewfinder to shoot, a portion of the image in the viewfinder may
appear to be blocked by the wide converter or tele-converter.
Use the wide converter lens with the focal length set to the maximum wide angle
setting.
Use the tele-converter lens with the focal length set to the maximum telephoto
setting. At other zoom settings, the image will not appear correctly.
