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.
2. 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 118 for more information.
■ Conversion Lens and Close-up Lens
Precautions
• Be sure to install the TELE CONVERTER ADAPTOR or
WIDE CONVERTER ADAPTOR before installing a
conversion lens or close-up lens.
• Carefully read the user documentation that comes with
the conversion lenses and close-up lens for information
about how to use them properly.
• Be sure to use the monitor screen to compose images
while a conversion lens or close-up lens is installed on
the camera. Do not use the viewfinder, because its image
is not changed by the lens you are using. Also, there will
be darkening around the edges of the image within the
viewfinder.
• Installing a conversion lens or close-up lens can interfere
with proper operation of the camera’s built-in flash.
When using a conversion lens or close-up lens, select
(Off) for the flash mode or use an external flash (page 132).
• When using a telephoto conversion lens, select Auto
Focus as the focus mode (page 74).
• Using optical zoom to select wide angle while a telephoto
conversion lens is installed can cause blackening around
the edges of the image. Set optical zoom to telephoto
(page 62).
• Use of a tripod is recommended to avoid camera movement
during recording with a telephoto conversion lens.
• When using a wide angle conversion lens, select Auto
Focus or Macro ( ) as the focus mode (page 76).
