Using the Optional Lenses and Lens Adapter
The camera supports use of the optional Tele-converter TC-DC10. In order to attach this lens, you also need to use the optional Conversion Lens Adapter LA-DC10.

- When attaching the 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 tele-converter, as this can result in blindness or impairment of vision.

Tele-converter TC-DC10
This 37 mm-threaded diameter magnifying conversion lens is for taking telephoto shots. The lens changes the focal length of the camera body's lens by a factor of 2.
-
It is not possible to attach a lens hood or filter to the tele-converter.
-
If you use the flash when shooting with the tele converter, the outer area of the recorded image will come out relatively dark.
-
When using the tele-converter, please set the focal length to telephoto end. At other zoom settings, the image will appear as if its corners have been cut off.
-
You cannot use the viewfinder when the conversion lens adapter is attached.
Attaching a Lens
1. Open the lens cover to power up the camera.
2. Align the conversion lens adapter with the front of the camera, then attach the conversion lens adapter to the tripod screw hole.
3. Move "A" in the direction of the arrow and insert it into the viewfinder until it clicks into place.
4. Turn the teleconverter in the direction of the arrow to attach it.
 To turn off the power for a short time such as between shooting sessions, leave the conversion lens attached and lightly press the lens cover. If you will not be using the camera for a long time, remove the conversion lens and close the lens cover.

- Completely remove all dust and dirt from conversion lenses with a lens blower brush before use. The camera may focus on any dirt that remains.
- Exercise due caution when handling the lenses since it is easy to dirty them with finger prints.
- Be careful not to drop the camera or adapter when removing the ring.
- To protect the conversion lens, hold the camera's lens with one had and screw the conversion lens onto the camera with the other hand.
- You should not shoot images in
mode when using these attachments. Although it is possible to select this mode at the camera, the PhotoStitch software will not be able to stitch the images together at the computer.
-
Once the lens adapter is screwed on the camera, it locks into place. When removing the wide converter or the tele-converter, do so while firmly pressing on the lens adapter with your hand to avoid damage to the lenses.
