178 Using the Lenses (Sold Separately) The camera supports use of the separately sold Wide Converter WCDC52, Tele-converter TC-DC52A and Close-up Lens 250D (52mm). In order to attach these lenses, you also need to use the separately sold Conversion Lens Adapter LA-DC52G. z When attaching the wide converter, tele-converter or closeup 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 you use the flash when shooting with these attachments, the outer area of the recorded image (especially lower right corner) will come out relatively dark. z When using the tele-converter, set the camera to maximum telephoto. At other zoom settings, the image will appear as if its corners have been cut off. z When using the wide converter, please set the camera to maximum wide angle. z If you use the viewfinder for shooting, a portion of the view will be blocked by these attachments. Please use the LCD monitor. „ Wide Converter WC-DC52 Use this converter for taking wide-angle shots.
