Lens

The swivel lens mechanism lets you easily aim at the angle
you want, without changing the position of the camera body.

Changing the Lens Angle

• Whenever you swivel the lens so it is pointing in the direc-

tion of the back of the camera, the image on the monitor
screen is automatically adjusted so it shows a mirror image
of what it picked up by the lens. This makes self-portrait
images appear with the correct orientation when viewed on
a display.

IMPORTANT!

• Do not use undue force when rotating the lens mecha-

nism and never try to force it past the point where rota-
tion stops naturally. Rough handling can cause the
lens mechanism to break and other damage to the
camera.

• The proper orientation of the lens when you store the

camera in its case depends on your camera model.

QV-2400UX: Lens should be pointed forward.
QV-2900UX: Lens should be pointed up.

• Never set the camera down while the lens is pointed

downwards. Doing so can cause bending or other
damage to the area around the lens.

• Always leave the lens cap on the lens except when

you are actually recording images.

• Setting the camera to wide-angle zoom while the Tele

Conversion Lens causes shadows around the periph-
ery of the image. This is because the frame of the at-
tached lens blocks some of the light coming into the
lens. Because of this, you should always use tele-
photo zoom whenever you are using the Tele Conver-
sion Lens.

• The effects of camera movement are magnified while

the Tele Conversion Lens is being used. Whenever
you are using a conversion lens, install the cushion
that comes with it and mount the camera on a tripod
so it is secure.

• Due to certain characteristics of the Wide Conversion

Lens, you may notice some slight distortion in images
recorded with it installed.

• Make sure that

(Macro Mode) is selected as the

focus mode whenever you are using the Wide Conver-
sion Lens.

• Note that optical zoom is restricted as shown below in

the Macro Mode

* QV-2400UX: 1X fixed (QV-2400UX)
* QV-2900UX: 1X to 1.6X (QV-2900UX)

Using a Filter

The lenses of both camera models are threaded.
With the QV-2400UX, you can screw on an optionally avail-
able Conversion Lens Adapter (LU-8A) and then attach a
commercially available lens filter.
With the QV-2900UX, you can screw a commercially avail-
able lens filter directly to the lens, without using the Conver-
sion Lens Adapter.

IMPORTANT!

• When using a lens filter with the QV-2400UX, be sure

you first screw the optionally available Conversion
Lens Adapter onto the lens. A filter attached directly to
the lens of the QV-2400UX will come into contact with
the convex surface of the lens and damage it.

• The designs of some filters can cause shadows

around the periphery of the image.

• Auto focus and flash may not produce desired results

while a filter is on the lens.

• Filters do not produce exactly the same results as

those obtained with a film-based camera.

• Do not use multiple filters in combination.
• Use of the flash while a commercially available lens

hood is installed may not produce desired results.
