Before using this lens, please read this manual thoroughly and retain it for
future reference.
The Sony VCL-ES06 wide-conversion lense is designed for use with the
Sony video camera recorder. The lens increases the focal length of the zoom
lens by 0.6 times and allows a wider view.
Attachment of this lens to the video camera recorder has no effect on light
transmission nor on the sharpness of focus.
Notes on use
• Set the video camera to W (maximum width/widest point). This lens can
only be used when set to W (widest). It will be out of focus if set to T
(telescopic).
• Avoid rough handling or mechanical shock to the video camera recorder,
especially when the lens is attached.
• Avoid keeping the lens in a very humid place for a long period of time to
prevent mold.
• Take the conversion lens off when transporting.
• Always attach the lens cap when storing.
