Using the Lenses (Sold Separately)

The camera supports use of the separately sold Wide Converter WC-
DC52, Tele-converter TC-DC52A and Close-up Lens 250D (52mm). In
order to attach these lenses, you also need to use the separately sold
Conversion Lens Adapter LA-DC52G.
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.
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.
If you use the flash when shooting with these attachments,
the outer area of the recorded image (especially lower right
corner) will come out relatively dark.
When using the tele-converter, set the camera to maximum
telephoto. At other zoom settings, the image will appear as if
its corners have been cut off.
When using the wide converter, please set the camera to
maximum wide angle.
If you use the viewfinder for shooting, a portion of the view
will be blocked by these attachments. Please use the LCD
monitor.
