Filters
• 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.
Lens Precautions
• Fingerprints, dust, or any other soiling of the lens can inter-
fere with proper image recording. Never touch the lens with
your fingers. You can remove dust particles from the lens
surface by using a lens blower to blow them off. Next, wipe
the surface of the lens with a soft lens cloth.
• The lens of this camera extends from its body when you
turn on power and retracts when you turn off power. Take
care not to subject the lens to undue force or impact, and
never set the camera face down so the lens is in contact
with a tabletop, etc. Be sure to remove the lens cap before
turning on the camera.
• Never remove the camera’s batteries or unplug its AC
adaptor while the lens is extended. Doing so leaves the
lens extended, and creates the risk of lens damage.
IMPORTANT!
• Be sure to use the Conversion Lens Adaptor when-
ever you install a conversion lens or filter. If you don’t,
the lens will come into contact with the conversion
lens or filter when it extends from the camera, result-
ing in malfunction. (QV-2300UX only)
• Flash is disabled while a conversion lens is being used.
• Setting the camera to wide-angle zoom while the Tele
Conversion Lens causes shadows around the periph-
ery of the image. This is because the frame of the at-
tached filter or 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 Con-
version Lens.
• The effects of hand shake 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 Conver-
sion Lens.
• Note that optical zoom is restricted a shown below in
the Macro Mode .
* QV-2300UX: 1X fixed (QV-2300UX)
* QV-2800UX: 1X to 1.6X (QV-2800UX)
• Use of the flash while a commercially available lens
hood is installed may not produce desired results.
