User manual NIKON FC-E8

[. . . ] Thank you for your purchase of the FC-E8 fisheye lens adapter for use with the Nikon COOLPIX 990, 950, 900s, 900, 800 and 700 digital cameras. Use the FC-E8 to take photo-graphs at a wider angle than is possible with your digital camera alone. with the FCE8 mounted , the focal length of the camera's lens is reduced to x0. [. . . ] This fisheye converter is intended for use with the Nikon COOLPIX 990, 950, 800, 700, 900s and 900 digital cameras. The optical viewfinder can not be used to check the camera angle when the FC-E8 is attached. When the FC-E8 is attached, do not pick the camera up by the converter alone, as this may damage the equipment. You should also be sure to detach the FC-E8 when transporting the camera. "Ghosting" may occur when a very bright light source, such as the sun, is framed in the photograph or is just outside the frame. When the FC-E8 is mounted and the camera is zoomed all the way out, the angle is 183°. In some cases, portions of the image outside an angle of 183° may not be captured. Some distortion may occur in the periphery of photographs taken with the fisheye converter. Be careful not to scratch the lens, which projects out from the fisheye converter and is susceptible to damage. If a finger-print or other stain is found on the lens, wipe it off gently with a soft, clean, cotton cloth dampened lightly with pure ethanol. Move the cloth in an even spiral from the center outward, being sure to clean all parts of the lens. Replace the front and rear lens covers when the adapter is not in use. When the FC-E8 is attached, the focus distance set in manual focus mode does not coincide with the actual focus distance due to optical characteristics of the FC-E8. It is recommended that you check the image in the LCD monitor or take a test photograph before recording the final photo. Gently screw the adapter into the lens, taking care to ensure that the threads are matched. Gently screw the adapter into the lens (if you are using the COOLPIX 700, you will need to attach the UR-E1 Step-up Ring [sold separately] before attaching the converter).
