• We recommend the use of genuine Canon filters (58 mm dia.).
• When not using auto focus to shoot, set the manual focus option
[Safety MF] to [On].
• If you use the built-in flash with the filter adapter attached, portions of
the image may appear darker.
• When using the filter adapter, be sure to use only one filter at a time.
Attaching multiple filters, or accessories such as a heavy lens, may
cause the attachments to fall off or damage the camera or adapter.
• Do not grip the filter adapter tightly.
• Remove the filter adapter when not using a filter.
• The filter adapter and a lens hood cannot be attached to the camera at the same
time.
