Using Conversion Lenses (Sold Separately) When attaching the Wide Converter WC-DC58A, Tele-converter TC-DC58B, and Close-up Lens 500D (58 mm) (each sold separately) you also need the Conversion Lens Adaptor LA-DC58E (included with the separately sold Lens Adaptor/Hood Kit LAH-DC20). z When attaching the wide converter, tele-converter or close-up 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 the built-in flash is used with the lens hood attached, the outer edges of shot images (especially the lower right) may be darkened. z When using the wide converter, set the camera to the maximum wide angle. z When using the tele-converter, set the camera near the maximum telephoto.
