Fujifilm X100VI Teleconverter Setup Guide

Quick answer

Attach the Fujifilm TCL-X100 II teleconverter to the X100VI by first removing the lens ring adapter, then screwing on the converter until it locks. Enable lens correction in the camera menu to avoid distorted images.

Step-by-step setup

1. Remove the lens ring adapter: Unscrew the stock ring adapter from the X100VI's lens barrel. If you have a filter or hood attached, remove them first to avoid interference. Keep the ring adapter in a safe case; it is easy to misplace.
2. Align and attach the TCL-X100 II: Line up the white dot on the converter with the white dot on the camera lens barrel. Gently turn clockwise until it clicks into place. Do not overtighten. If you feel resistance, realign the dots; forcing the thread can damage the mount.
3. Enable lens correction in the menu: Go to the shooting menu, navigate to 'Lens Modulation Optimizer' (or similar), and set it to ON. This compensates for optical distortion caused by the teleconverter. Forgetting this step will produce soft corners and barrel distortion in raw files.
4. Confirm focal length detection: Half-press the shutter; the viewfinder should show the adjusted focal length (approximately 50mm). If not, restart the camera and recheck the menu setting. If the camera still shows 23mm, the converter may not be fully seated.
5. Test and adjust exposure: Take a test shot in aperture priority mode. The converter reduces light transmission by about 1/3 stop, so check your histogram and increase ISO or open aperture if needed. This loss is minimal and rarely visible in well-lit scenes, but avoid relying on the converter in dim conditions.
