Precautions for Use

•Mounting a wide conversion lens or fisheye adaptor may
disable focusing at the telescopic setting (zoom position 
Z = approx. 80 or more).
•When the tele-converter is mounted, vignetting can occur
at the wide setting (zoom position Z = approx. 65 or lower).
•When a conversion lens is mounted, the total weight can
increase by as much as 1.5 times, which causes increased
stress on the handle section. To prevent this, use a tripod
and make sure that the handle section is not subjected to
extra weight.
