Using Conversion Lenses (Optional) / 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.

The lens augments the focal length of the camera body's lens by a factor of 0.8. This 58 mm-threaded diameter magnifying conversion lens is for taking telephoto shots. The lens augments the focal length of the camera body's 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. 110 Using Conversion Lenses (Optional)/Close-Up Lenses (Optional)
