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.
With a standard lens
When output to a wide screen monitor TV, the recorded
images can be displayed at an aspect ratio of 16:9.
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.

Precautions for use
OWhen shooting with this lens attached, do not use the image
stabilizing system (OIS) function or the auto focus (AF)
function.
OWhen using the maximum setting for the zoom position in
the tele (T) range with this lens attached, the point-blank
range for focusing will be approximately 3 meters.
OWhen using a zoom position setting in the wide angle (W)
range with this lens attached, the 4 corners of the screen
may become dark (eclipse). If this does happen, move the
zoom position to one within the tele (T) range.
ODepending on whether this lens is attached or not, the focus
control information display value shown on the camera may
differ, even if the distance from the subject is the same.
ODo not touch the lens surface or allow it to get dirty. If,
however, the lens does become dirty, clean off the dust
using an airbrush or similar device, then wipe the lens using
a dry, soft cloth.
OWhen performing maintenance do not use benzine, thinners
or other solvents. Doing so may cause discoloration or other
damage.
