If [Step Zoom] is set to ON, the focal length for zoom is xed at ve steps
(equivalent to 24 mm, 28 mm, 35 mm, 50 mm, and 72 mm*). * Equivalent to
that on a 35-mm camera.
Notes -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
• Zoom focal lengths for when a wide conversion lens is attached to the
camera are equivalent to 19 mm, 22 mm, 27 mm, 39 mm, and 57 mm.
• Zoom focal lengths for when a tele conversion lens is attached to the
camera are equivalent to 45 mm, 53 mm, 65 mm, 93 mm, and 135 mm.
However, if zooming is performed at a focal length other than 135 mm
(telephoto side), mechanical vignetting (a phenomenon in which the
four corners of an image become dark) may occur in the periphery of the
image.

lens attached
• When the conversion lens is attached to the
camera
When [WIDE[DW-6]] or [TELE[TC-1]] is selected:
When the power is turned on with a conversion lens attached, or when a
conversion lens is attached, a symbol indicating the conversion lens type
is displayed momentarily at the center of the picture display, and then a

Caution ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
• When [Conversion Lens] is set to [TELE[TC-1]], even if the wide conversion
lens (DW-6) is attached, the camera will recognize the attached lens as
the tele conversion lens (TC-1). In addition, the opposite will be the same.
• When a lens with a dierent [Conversion Lens] setting is attached,
shooting functions will not operate properly.

Precautions for Use
• The warranty supplied with this product is only valid within the country of purchase.
• Should the product fail or malfunction while out of the country, the manufacturer
assumes no responsibility for servicing the product locally or bearing any
expenditure incurred thereby.
• Do not drop the equipment or subject it to physical shocks.
• When carrying the equipment, be careful that it does not strike other objects.
Particular care is required to protect the lens.
• Abrupt changes in temperature may cause condensation, resulting in visible
condensation inside the lens or malfunction of the equipment. This can be avoided
by placing the equipment in a plastic bag to slow the temperature change, and
removing it only after the air in the bag has reached the same temperature its
surroundings.
• Keep the equipment dry and avoid handling it with wet hands. Failure to observe
these precautions could result in malfunction of the equipment or electric shock.
• Keep the connector clean.
Tip: Avoiding Condensation --------------------------------------------------------
Condensation is particularly likely to occur if you move to an area with a
sharply dierent temperature, if humidity is high, in a cold room after the
