Question :
What are the features of teleconverter lens TCON-T01?
Answer:
TCON-T01 is a dedicated teleconverter lens for TG-3, TG-2 and TG-1.
This lens enables you to shoot long-distance landscapes while retaining the brightness of the lens. You also have the ability to emphasize a specific subject using the background blur enabled by the long focal length. The waterproof performance, by filling the lens with nitrogen gas, prevents fogging of the internal that occurs because of temperature difference inside the lens.
The converter adapter CLA-T01 (sold separately) is required to attach the TCON-T01 to the TG-3, TG-2 or TG-1. Refer to the following question for more information:

Question :
What are the features of fisheye converter lens FCON-T01?
Answer:
FCON-T01 is a dedicated fisheye converter lens for TG-3, TG-2 and TG-1.
This lens enables you to shoot wide-angle shooting while remaining the brightness of the lens. With its waterproof function, you can shoot wide images underwater where the angle of view tends to be narrowed. Fogging that occurs because of temperature differences inside the lens is prevented by filling the lens with nitrogen gas. You can also attach or detach the converter lens underwater.
The converter adapter CLA-T01 (sold separately) is required to attach the FCON-T01 to the TG-3, TG-2 or TG-1. Refer to the following question for more information:

Question :
Why do the TG-3, TG-2 and TG-1 have a removable lens ring?
Answer:
The lens ring, which is attached to the front of the TG-3 / TG-2 / TG-1 cameras, is removable so that the converter lens adapter CLA-T01 (sold separately) can be attached to the camera.
The converter lens adapter CLA-T01 is required when using a converter lens or lens filter.
Refer to the following question for more information:
How do I attach a converter or a lens filter to the TG-3 / TG-2 / TG-1 using the converter lens adapter CLA-T01?
Note:
The lens ring has no effect on the waterproof and dustproof performance of the camera. Waterproof and dustproof performance of the TG-3, TG-2 and TG-1 is not affected even if the lens ring is detached from the camera.
Question :
How do I attach a converter or a lens filter to the TG-3 / TG-2 / TG-1 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-3 / TG-2 / TG-1. 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-3 / TG-2 / TG-1, remove the lens ring from the camera.
How to attach or remove the lens ring:
How to attach or remove a conversion lens / filter:
Caution:
- When a filter that is 6 mm thick or more is attached, vignetting may occur in the corners of the images. In this case, use a thin circular-type polarizing filter.
- Filters cannot be attached directly to the TG-3 / TG-2 / TG-1 camera.
- The image quality when using a filter is not guaranteed.
- A filter and a Fisheye converter FCON-T01 cannot be used simultaneously.
Note:
The lens ring has no effect on the waterproof and dustproof performance of the camera. Waterproof and dustproof performance of the TG-3, TG-2 and TG-1 is not affected even if the lens ring is detached from the camera.
