 Taking pictures with a conversion lens (1)
OffSelect when taking pictures without a conversion lens.
TCON-17 Select when taking pictures with a designated optional conversion lens. \
# Cautions
•  When a conversion lens is attached, light from the built-in  fl ash can cause vignetting 
where shadows from the conversion lens appear on the images.

cus.
•  Conversion lens adapter CLA-12 (available separately) is required to a\
ttach the  conversion lens to the camera.
