Help with A70 wide converter

deoveer · 3rd of March 2004 (Wed)

Greetings,

Two weeks ago I purchased A70 and liking it. Previously I had used Nikon 3100 and Fuji FinePix 310, but I like the flexibility of A70.

Anyway, I have ordered lens adapter and wide angle converter. I read through the A70 manual but it has very little information about use of the lenses.

I would like to know what kind of shooting mode I should use (or required to use) with the wide angle lense. Are there any limitations?

Can I still use Auto feature of the camera? How about Macro, Portrait, Landscape and other such shooting mode?

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks,

The wide angle adapter is used for any photo where you want a wider view than given by the zoom lens at it's widest zoom setting.

A telephoto and macro adapter are also available for those needs.

You can use any modes like Auto, Program, Landscape, Portrait... that you want.

The adapter will likely come with further information.

I use a .6x wide angle supplement as my normal lens. It works at every setting. The flash causes a shadow so I remove the lens if using flash.
