Using Conversion Lenses (Sold Separately) - Canon PowerShot S1 IS User Manual

Using Conversion Lenses (Sold Separately)

Conversion Lens Adapter LA-DC52E and Lens Hood
LH-DC20 are included in the separately sold Lens
Adapter/Hood Kit LAH-DC10.
The camera supports use of the separately sold
Wide Converter WC-DC52A and Tele-converter TC-
DC52B. In order to attach any of these lenses, you
also need to use the separately sold Conversion
Lens Adapter LA-DC52E (included with LAH-DC10).
When shooting in backlit conditions without the flash
and at the wide angle end, the use of the lens hood is
recommended to prevent external light from entering
the lens.
Warning
When attaching the wide converter or tele-
converter, 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.
Never look into the sun or into strong light
through the wide converter or tele-converter as
this can result in blindness or impairment of
vision.
If you use the built-in flash when shooting with
the wide converter, the outer area of the
recorded image (especially the bottom part of
the image) will come out relatively dark.
When using the wide converter, please set
the camera to the wide angle end.
When using the tele-converter, please set the
focal length to the telephoto end. At other
zoom settings, the image will appear as if its
corners have been cut off.
This 52 mm-threaded magnifying
conversion lens is for taking wide angle
Wide Converter
shots. The wide converter changes the
WC-DC52A
focal length of the camera body's lens
by a factor of 0.7.
This 52 mm-threaded diameter
magnifying conversion lens is for taking
Tele-converter
telephoto shots. The lens changes the
TC-DC52B
focal length of the camera body's lens
by a factor of 1.6.
Filters and lens hoods cannot be attached to
the wide converter and tele-converter lens.
