Using the Wide Converter (VB-C50i)
The optional Wide Converter WL-37 can be used to provide wide-angle shots (approx. 0.74× the

Mount the wide converter correctly so that it is level and fitted securely onto the camera. When
mounted correctly, the wide converter should turn roughly 3 times before stopping.
