Precautions to ensure that the camera is used safely.
Read these precautions thoroughly. Make sure all
details are observed in order to prevent risks and injury
to the user and other people.
Warning
Details pertaining to risks that may
result in death or serious injury.
● Care must be taken with the batteries used in
the product, as follows. They may produce heat,
smoke, flame, or leak or burst, causing fires or
injuries.
• Do not use batteries with a nominal voltage in
excess of 1.5 V or where the nominal voltage
cannot be confirmed.
• Do not mix battery brands or use old and new
batteries together.
• Make sure you put the batteries in the right way
around.
• Do not disassemble batteries, recharge them
(unless rechargeable), leave them in hot places,
apply heat to them, short out their terminals, or
throw them in a fire.
● When using some brands of AAA lithium batteries,
there may be rare cases when the battery gets
extremely hot. For safety's sake, please do not use
AAA lithium batteries.
● Do not allow the product to maintain contact with
the same area of skin for extended periods of time
during use. This may result in low-temperature
contact burns, including skin redness and blistering,
even if the product does not feel hot. The use of a
tripod or similar equipment is recommended when
using the product in hot places and for people with
circulation problems or less sensitive skin.
Caution Details pertaining to risks that
may result in injury.
● There is the risk of getting your finger or hair caught
between the lens zoom ring and the product. Take
care when using the product.
● If internal fluid such as battery leaks get on you,
wash it off thoroughly with water. Do not rub your
eyes or mouth while you have fluid on your hands.
Safety Precautions

ENG-3
Caution Details pertaining to risks that may
result in damage to property.
● This is a precision instrument. Do not drop it,
subject it to shock, or attempt to dismantle it
yourself.
● When carrying a lens or a camera to which the
adapter is attached, always carry it by the lens/
camera body.
● Do not leave the adapter in excessive heat such as
in a car in direct sunlight. High temperatures can
cause the adapter to malfunction.
● Remove the battery when you are not using the
adapter. Fluid leakage can cause the adapter to
malfunction.
Handling Precautions
● If the adapter is taken from a cold environment
into a warm one, condensation may develop on
the outside surface and internal parts. To prevent
condensation in this case, first put the adapter into
an airtight plastic bag before taking it from a cold
to warm environment. Then take out the adapter
after it has warmed gradually. Do the same when
taking the adapter from a warm environment into a
cold one.
Shooting Precautions
● When using the power zoom, the lens will stop
before the limit at both the wide and telephoto
ends. The available focal length range is limited.
The focal length range where the power zoom can
be used differs for each lens. Refer to “Materials”
on Page 10 for details.
● Attaching the camera to a tripod may cause
interference with the adapter. If this is the case,
please use the separately-sold TS-E Lens Tripod
Adapter.

Use the zoom lever to use the power zoom. Sliding it to
[W] will zoom the lens out (wide end) and sliding it to [T]
will zoom the lens in (telephoto end).
The zoom speed will change depending on how much
the zoom lever is moved. Refer to “Materials” on Page
10 for details of the zoom speeds.
You can use power zooms by remote control when
using this adapter. Refer to “Materials” on Page 11
for details of remote control.
● If a foreign object is caught between the lens’s
zoom ring and the adapter while power zoom is
being used, it will stop after the motor drives it to
expel the object. You cannot use Power Zoom
while the jam detector is pressed.
● When using Power Zoom from the telephoto end
to the wide end, take care that you do not get
your fingers caught between the adapter and the
tip of the lens or the lens hood.
● The motor noise may be recorded when using
Power Zoom during video shooting. Setting the
speed level to [SLOW] will reduce the motor
noise.
● There may be some slight sounds from the
adapter when the camera is turned on or wakes
up from Auto Power Off.
● While using the zoom lever, do not apply force
in the direction where the adapter parts from the
lens. It can cause abnormal sounds or damage.
