Installing a Conversion Lens
Optionally available conversion lenses change the focal dis-
tance, which provides enhanced telephoto or wide-angle ca-
pabilities. The method you should use to install a conversion
lens depends on your camera model.
QV-2400UX: You must install an optionally available lens
adaptor (LU-8A) in order to use a conversion lens.
QV-2900UX: A conversion lens can be installed directly,
without an adaptor.
Tele Conversion Lens LU-8T: 1.5X
Focusing distance when installed
QV-2400UX: Approximately 1m to
QV-2900UX: Approximately 2.5m to
Wide Conversion Lens LU-8W: 0.7X
Focusing distance when installed
QV-2400UX/QV-2900UX: Approximately 1cm to
QV-2400UX QV-2900UX
QV-2400UX QV-2900UX
IMPORTANT!
Be sure to use the Conversion Lens Adaptor when-
ever you install a conversion lens. If you don t, the
lens will come into contact with the conversion lens
when it extends from the camera, resulting in malfunc-
tion. (QV-2400UX only)
Flash is disabled while a conversion lens is being
used.

Lens Precautions
Fingerprints, dust, or any other soiling of the lens can inter-
fere with proper image recording. Never touch the lens with
your fingers. You can remove dust particles from the lens
surface by using a lens blower to blow them off. Next, wipe
the surface of the lens with a soft lens cloth.
The lens of the QV-2400UX extends from its body when
you turn on power and retracts when you turn off power.
Take care not to subject the lens to undue force or impact,
and never set the camera face down so the lens is in con-
tact with a tabletop, etc. Be sure to remove the lens cap
before turning on the camera. If you turn on the QV-
2400UX while the REC/PLAY selector is set to REC and
its lens cap is attached, the message LENS CAP! ap-
pears on the monitor screen and power turns off automati-
cally. If this happens, remove the lens cap and then turn on
power.
Never remove the batteries from the QV-2400UX or unplug
its AC adaptor while the lens is extended. Doing so leaves
the lens extended, and creates the risk of lens damage.
