This product is a conversion lens that is capable of shooting
images with an aspect ratio of 16:9, which is wider than usual
lenses.
The horizontal aspect of each image is optically compressed
and recorded on the tape.
CAUTION:
Do not point the lens directly at the sun or any other
strong source of light!
The condensing action of the lens may cause highly
combustible objects nearby to catch on fire and cause greater
damage.
This may also result in loss of sight.
Therefore, always attach the accessory cap to avoid direct
contact with the rays of the sun.
Do not place the lens on an unstable surface!
It may fall off unexpectedly and possibly cause injury.
It may also cause malfunctioning.
