Minolta Dimage z1
I think I had been posting on the wrong digital group and the Dimage is a
slr. Please advise. Directions say to select accessory setting to use the wide angle converter. But then all zoom capabilities are lost. The camera appears to zoom, auto focus etc with the default settings. Can quality pictures be taken with the wide angle left on the camera in the default settings? Thanks, Tim fm CT |

Thanks, Tim fm CT Tim, I can't answer for your camera, but on at least one Nikon camera, with the telephoto extended fitted, pictures taken at less that full telephoto showed vignetting. Hence the "telephoto accessory lens" menu setting. With a wide-angle, I can't see vignetting as being an issue, but (a) the image quality may be worse and (b) is there any possibility of physical damage as the main lens extends or zooms? Stating the obvious, the maximum zoom will be less! Yes, this is the right group. Cheers, David |

The Dimage z-1 is a slr and I going to get a canon powershot s3. I've been so dissatisfied with the focus ability of the minolta. I checked on the firmware suggestion from the newsgroup and minolta has no updates for it. About the wide angle, there is no danger of the lens hitting the wide-angle. There is plenty of room. Maybe I'll try a few test shots on auto focus. Thanks again, Tim fm CT |
