AVAILABILITY

I ordered my teleconverter online, from Buycomp just before midnight on a Sunday evening for $120.90, and selected Fed-Ex second day delivery The convertor arrived Wednesday morning.

OPERATION NOTES

Telephoto mode:

  • With TELEFOTO active, both internal and external flash will be off.
  • For tele photos at close range, macro close up mode is recommended

Normal Mode:

  • Set Flash to cancel to avoid uneven or excessive lighting
  • Zoom should be used only between the middle and the full telephoto positions
  • 700 note: Shadows will appear in the four corners of the screen if digital zoom is OFF or set to x1.25

General

  • The optical viewfinder cannot be used to compose telephoto pictures with the TC-E2 attached.
  • Some distortion may occur in the periphery of photographs taken with the teleconvertor
  • The lens hoods HN-23 and HN-24 may be used to prevent ghosting caused by bright light sources just outside the field of view.

PACKAGE CONTENTS:

  • TC-E2 Teleconvertor
  • Instruction Manual (sheet)
  • LC-ER1 Rear Lens Cap
  • 62mm Front Lens Cap
  • Padded Lens Pouch with Drawstring
