Product Information

Full details

The OM SYSTEM FCON-T02 Fisheye Converter is designed for OM SYSTEM TG camera users seeking to expand their creative possibilities, particularly for underwater photography. Its key benefit is the versatility to switch between circular and full-frame fisheye perspectives without changing equipment, ideal for capturing expansive underwater panoramas. A potential caveat is the requirement of the separately sold CLA-T01 lens adapter for attachment.

FAQs

What is the main advantage of the FCON-T02 Fisheye Converter?

Its primary advantage is the ability to capture two distinct fisheye perspectives – circular and full-frame – by simply adjusting the zoom position on your compatible TG camera, offering great creative flexibility, especially underwater.

Do I need any other accessories to use the FCON-T02?

Yes, you must use the OM SYSTEM CLA-T01 lens adapter, which is sold separately, to attach the FCON-T02 Fisheye Converter to your TG camera.

Is the FCON-T02 suitable for use in saltwater?

Yes, the converter is designed for underwater use and features a waterproof construction. However, it's recommended to rinse it with fresh water after use in saltwater and dry it thoroughly.

How do I switch between circular fisheye and full-frame fisheye?

You switch between the two modes by adjusting the zoom position on your compatible TG camera. The converter is designed to work with specific zoom ranges for each mode.

Can I use the FCON-T02 with any OM SYSTEM camera?

No, the FCON-T02 Fisheye Converter is specifically designed for certain OM SYSTEM TG camera models and requires the CLA-T01 lens adapter. Please check the official OM SYSTEM compatibility list for your specific camera model.

What does 'nitrogen-filled' mean for the lens?

It means the interior of the lens elements within the converter is filled with dry nitrogen gas instead of air. This prevents condensation and fogging inside the lens, which is crucial for maintaining image clarity in rapidly changing temperatures, particularly underwater.

How should I clean the FCON-T02?

Use a soft, lint-free cloth to gently wipe the lens elements. For tougher smudges, a lens cleaning solution specifically designed for camera lenses can be used sparingly on the cloth, never directly on the lens. Avoid using abrasive materials or harsh chemicals.

Troubleshooting

Converter is difficult to attach.

Ensure the CLA-T01 adapter is correctly mounted on the camera and that there are no obstructions on the threads of either the adapter or the converter.

Image appears foggy or has internal condensation.

This converter is nitrogen-filled to prevent fogging. If fogging occurs, it may indicate a seal issue. Ensure the converter is properly attached and not damaged. If the problem persists, contact OM SYSTEM support.

Camera does not recognize the converter or settings are limited.

Confirm that the converter is fully and securely attached to the CLA-T01 adapter. Ensure your TG camera's firmware is up to date. Verify camera compatibility with the FCON-T02.

Image quality is not as expected (e.g., soft edges).

Ensure the lens element on the converter is clean. Check that the correct shooting mode (circular or full-frame fisheye) is selected based on your zoom position. Avoid using the converter beyond its intended optimal range.

Care:

  • Gently dry the exterior with a soft, clean cloth. Avoid abrasive materials.
