Installing a Conversion Lens or Close-up
Lens
A conversion lens provides your camera with telephoto or
wide angle capabilities. A close-up lens enables macro
photography.
1.
Turn off the camera, and
then remove the lens ring
installed on its lens.
• If you experience difficulty
when trying to remove the
lens ring, try grasping it
lightly with the tips of your
thumb, forefinger, middle
finger, and ring finger when
you rotate it. Grasping the
lens ring strongly with your thumb and forefinger can
put pressure on the ring and camera threads, making
it difficult to rotate the lens ring.
2.
Position the camera with the lens facing
straight up. Install either the TELE
CONVERTER ADAPTOR or WIDE
CONVERTER ADAPTOR on the camera.
3.
Install a conversion lens or close-up lens on
the camera.
IMPORTANT!
• Installing a conversion lens or close-up lens can
cause blackening around the edges of the image,
which can interfere with proper operation of the
camera’s phase differential sensor. Before recording
an image, be sure to select “Contrast” for the Auto
Focus mode. See “Selecting the Auto Focus (AF)
Mode” on page 134 for more information.
NOTE
• Installing or removing the lens ring while the camera
is turned on will cause it to turn off automatically.
