This lens is used for taking telephoto shots. The lens changes the focal length
of the camera body’s lens by a factor of 2x (the thread diameter is 58 mm).

converter to the camera (the thread diameter is 58 mm).
Using the Lenses (Sold Separately)
z When attaching the wide converter, 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.

converter, tele-converter lens as this can result in blindness
or impairment of vision.

zWhen using the tele-converter, please set the focal length to
the telephoto end. At other zoom settings, the image will
appear as if its corners have been cut off.

wide angle end.

blocked by these attachments. Please use the LCD monitor.
