Notes
• If you attach the DZ-TL43
conversion lens, the focusing
range at the T (telephoto) side
will be from approx. 3 m to
infinity.
• When the tele-conversion lens or
wide-conversion lens is used, the
white balance may not function
depending on recording
conditions. (Normally, the white
balance will be automatically
adjusted.) In this event, adjust the
white balance manually (p.79).
• When you zoom while the
conversion lens is attached, the
four corners of the screen may
become a little dark or scratchy at
the W (Wide) side. (The four
corners may not be evenly dark.)
• When you are recording still
pictures with the wide-conversion
lens attached, the four corners of
the screen will become dark at the
W (Wide) side. If this happens,
make it less wide.
• When changing lenses, be careful
not to drop the camcorder.
• Attaching a conversion lens will
prevent you from using the flash.
Turn the “Flash” setting to “Off”
(p.82).
• Some commercially sold
conversion lens may not be
compatible with this camcorder.
