• The zoom is fixed to Tele when using the
tele conversion lens and is fixed to Wide
when using the wide conversion lens.
The actual magnification when using the
digital zoom (P34) and the extended
optical zoom (P33) is 1.7× the zoom
magnification displayed when set to Tele.
• The full range of the zoom can be used
when using the close-up lens.
• Digital zoom cannot be used when using a
wide conversion lens.
• When there is dirt (water, oil, and
fingerprints, etc.) on the surface of the
lens, the image may be affected. Lightly
wipe the surface of the lens with a soft,
dry cloth before and after taking pictures.
• Ensure that [CONVERSION] is set to
[OFF] when not using a conversion lens.
• When using the conversion lens or
close-up lens:
-The built-in flash cannot be activated.
- If you set [CONVERSION] to [OFF], the
performance of the conversion lens or
close-up lens will not be optimal.
• When using the tele conversion lens:
-We recommend using a tripod.
-The stabilizer function may not work
sufficiently.
-The focus indication may light due to the
jitter even if the subject is not focused.
-The time required for focusing may
become longer than usual.
• If you set [CONVERSION] to [_], [_] or
[0_], you cannot use the builtqn flash or
AF assist lamp. (P85)
• Read the operating instructions of the
conversion lens for details.
