Using the Optional Lenses and Lens Adapter

The camera supports use of the optional Wide Converter WC-DC52, Tele-converter TC-DC52 and Close-up Lens 250D (52 mm). In order to attach any of these lenses, you also need to use the optional Conversion Lens Adapter LA-DC52C.

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 the close-up lens, as this can result in blindness or impairment of vision.

Wide Converter WC-DC52

Use this converter for taking wide-angle shots. The wide converter changes the focal length of the camera body's lens by a factor of 0.7 (The thread diameter is 52 mm.).

Tele-converter TC-DC52

This 52 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 2.4x.

Close-Up Lens 250D (52 mm)

This lens makes it easy to take macro shots. With the camera set to Macro mode, you can use this option to shoot subjects that are 3 to 25 cm (1.2 to 9.8 in.) at wide angle end and 13 to 25 cm (5.1 to 9.8 in.) at telephoto end from the lens tip.

• It is not possible to attach a lens hood or filter to the wide converter or tele-converter.

• If you use the flash when shooting with the wide converter, the outer area of the recorded image (and especially the lower right corner) will come out relatively dark.

• The wide converter blocks part of the view through the viewfinder.

• When using the wide converter, please set the camera to wide angle end.

• 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.

Shooting Ranges in Macro Mode

-	Distance between Lens tip and Subject	Field Coverage
At maximum telephoto	13 cm (5.1 in.) at closest focus	48 X 36 mm (1.9 X 1.4 in.)
-	25 cm (9.8 in.) at farthest focus	82 X 61 mm (3.2 X 2.4 in.)
At maximum wide angle	3 cm (1.2 in.) at closest focus	49 X 37 mm (1.9 X 1.5 in.)
-	25 cm (9.8 in.) at farthest focus	230 X 173 mm (9.1 X 6.8 in.)

Conversion Lens Adapter LA-DC52C (52 mm)

This optional adapter is required for attaching the wide converter, tele-converter and close-up lens (all optional).

Attaching a Lens

1. Be sure that the camera is turned off.

2. Press the ring release button and hold it down, and turn the ring in the direction of the arrow.

3. When the marks on the ring and the camera are aligned, lift off the ring.

4. Align the marks on the Conversion Lens Adapter and the camera, and turn the adapter in the direction of the arrows as far as the mark on the camera.

5. Set the lens on the adapter, and attach it securely by turning it in the indicated direction.

• 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.

• When shooting with these attachments, please use the LCD monitor to compose your shots. The attachments block part of the view through the viewfinder, and the area shown in the viewfinder does not match the area of the shot that is actually recorded.

• 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.
