[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

attached conversion lens.  
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.
