[Step Zoom] Setting (Setup)
If [Step Zoom] is set to ON, the focal length for zoom is fixed at five steps
(equivalent to 24 mm, 28 mm, 35 mm, 50 mm, and 72 mm*). * Equivalent to
that on a 35-mm camera.
Notes-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
• Zoom focal lengths for when a wide conversion lens is attached to the
camera are equivalent to 19 mm, 22 mm, 27 mm, 39 mm, and 57 mm.
• Zoom focal lengths for when a tele conversion lens is attached to the
camera are equivalent to 45 mm, 53 mm, 65 mm, 93 mm, and 135 mm.
However, if zooming is performed at a focal length other than 135 mm
(telephoto side), mechanical vignetting (a phenomenon in which the
four corners of an image become dark) may occur in the periphery of the
image.
ꢀꢃ
[Conversion Lens] Setting (Setup)
In [Conversion Lens] settings, you can set whether to use either of an
optional wide conversion lens (DW-6) or tele conversion lens (TC-1).
Available Settings
Description

WIDE [DW-6]
TELE [TC-1]
When a conversion lens is attached to the
camera, it will be recognized as a wide
conversion lens (DW-6).
When a conversion lens is attached to the
camera, it will be recognized as a tele conversion
lens (TC-1).
ꢀꢄ
Available Settings

*Default setting
Description
The conversion lens type selection screen always
appears at the following times. This is useful
when frequently using both the DW-6 and TC-1
lenses.
• When the camera is turned on with a conversion
lens attached
• When the conversion lens is attached to the
camera
When [WIDE[DW-6]] or [TELE[TC-1]] is selected:
When the power is turned on with a conversion lens attached, or when a
conversion lens is attached, a symbol indicating the conversion lens type
is displayed momentarily at the center of the picture display, and then a
smaller symbol is displayed at the lower right of the picture display.
ꢀꢅ
When [Lens Attached] is selected:
When the power is turned on with a conversion lens attached, or when a
conversion lens is attached, the conversion lens type selection screen will
display. Press the Fn1/Fn2 buttons to select the desired setting and then
press the MENU/OK button. A symbol indicating the conversion lens type
is displayed momentarily at the center of the picture display, and then a
smaller symbol is displayed at the lower right of the picture display.
Caution ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
• When [Conversion Lens] is set to [TELE[TC-1]], even if the wide conversion
lens (DW-6) is attached, the camera will recognize the attached lens as
the tele conversion lens (TC-1). In addition, the opposite will be the same.
• When a lens with a different [Conversion Lens] setting is attached,
shooting functions will not operate properly.
