Using the Lenses (Sold Separately)
(PowerShot A540 only)
! When attaching the wide converter, tele-converter or
close-up lens be sure to screw it on securely. If they come
loose, they may fall from the lens adapter, posing risk of
injury from shattered glass.
! Never look into the sun or into strong light through the
viewfinder, wide converter, tele-converter
or close-up lens as
this can result in blindness or impairment of vision.
! If you use the flash when shooting with these attachments,
the outer area of the recorded image (especially lower right
corner) will come out relatively dark.
! When using the tele-converter, please set the focal length
to the telephoto end. At other zoom settings, the image will
appear as if its corners have been cut off.
! When using the wide converter, please set the camera to
the wide angle end.
! If you use the viewfinder for shooting, a portion of the view
will be blocked by these attachments. Please use the LCD
monitor.
