Casio QV-2900UX Owners Manual - Page 23

GETTING ACQUAINTED • Setting the camera to wide-angle zoom while the Tele Conversion Lens causes shadows around the periphery of the image. This is because the frame of the attached lens blocks some of the light coming into the lens. Because of this, you should always use telephoto zoom whenever you are using the Tele Conversion Lens. • The effects of camera movement are magnified while the Tele Conversion Lens is being used. Whenever you are using a conversion lens, install the cushion that comes with it and mount the camera on a tripod so it is secure. • Due to certain characteristics of the Wide Conversion Lens, you may notice some slight distortion in images recorded with it installed. • Make sure that (Macro Mode) is selected as the focus mode whenever you are using the Wide Conversion Lens. • Note that optical zoom is restricted as shown below in the Macro Mode . * QV-2400UX: 1X fixed (QV-2400UX) * QV-2900UX: 1X to 1.6X (QV-2900UX) Using a Filter The lenses of both camera models are threaded. With the QV-2400UX, you can screw on an optionally available Conversion Lens Adapter (LU-8A) and then attach a commercially available lens filter. With the QV-2900UX, you can screw a commercially available lens filter directly to the lens, without using the Conversion Lens Adapter. IMPORTANT! • When using a lens filter with the QV-2400UX, be sure you first screw the optionally available Conversion Lens Adapter onto the lens. A filter attached directly to the lens of the QV-2400UX will come into contact with the convex surface of the lens and damage it. • The designs of some filters can cause shadows around the periphery of the image. • Auto focus and flash may not produce desired results while a filter is on the lens. • Filters do not produce exactly the same results as those obtained with a film-based camera. • Do not use multiple filters in combination. • Use of the flash while a commercially available lens hood is installed may not produce desired results.
