Question :
How do I attach a converter or a lens filter to the TG-2 using the converter lens adapter CLA-T01?
Answer:
Converter lens adapter CLA-T01:
The converter lens adapter CLA-T01 ( sold separately ) is required to attach the Teleconverter TCON-T01 or Fisheye converter FCON-T01 to the TG-2. You can also use the converter lens adapter CLA-T01 to attach a 40.5 mm lens filter that is 6 mm thick or less.
Before attaching the CLA-T01 to the TG-2, remove the lens ring from the camera.
How to attach or remove the lens ring :
