- Prepare Your Camera: Ensure your DJI OSMO Pocket 3 is clean and free of dust around the lens area.
- Remove Protective Film: For the strongest magnetic connection, it is recommended to remove any existing lens protective film from your action camera before attaching the wide angle lens.

Important Considerations:
- Camera Power Off: Always remove the wide angle lens before turning off your DJI OSMO Pocket 3 to prevent potential damage or misalignment during the camera's shutdown sequence.
- Filter Compatibility: This wide angle lens cannot be used in conjunction with other filters such as ND or CPL filters when attached to the Pocket 3.
- Camera Protectors: If using a camera protector, the lens may not adhere securely. For best results, use the wide angle lens directly on the camera without additional coverings.

4. Operating the Lens
The NEEWER 0.75X Wide Angle Lens expands your camera's field of view, allowing you to capture more of your surroundings.
- Expanded Field of View (FOV): This lens expands the field of view to 108°, enabling you to include a larger area or more subjects within your frame. This is particularly useful for capturing landscapes, architecture, group photos, and street photography.

- Creative Distortion and Dynamic Action Shots: The 0.75X wide angle lens can introduce a certain level of distortion, which can be used creatively to add depth and interest to your compositions. It is also beneficial for sports or event photography where stepping back is not an option, allowing you to capture more action in tight spaces.

5. Maintenance and Care
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your NEEWER 0.75X Wide Angle Lens, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Use the provided cleaning cloth to gently wipe the lens surfaces. For stubborn smudges, a specialized lens cleaning solution and a microfiber cloth can be used. Avoid using abrasive materials or harsh chemicals.
- Storage: Store the lens in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Keep it protected from dust and scratches when not in use.
- Handling: Handle the lens by its edges to avoid touching the optical surfaces. The lens is made with coated high transmission aspherical glass, designed for clear images and videos.

6. Troubleshooting
- Lens Not Attaching Securely: Ensure there is no protective film or case on your DJI OSMO Pocket 3's lens that might interfere with the magnetic attachment. The lens is designed to attach directly to the camera's lens.
- Lens Shifting During Use: Verify that the lens is properly aligned and fully seated magnetically. If the issue persists, ensure the camera's lens area is clean and free of debris that could weaken the magnetic hold.
- Image Quality Issues (e.g., Fisheye Effect): The 0.75X wide angle lens inherently introduces a slight fisheye effect, particularly noticeable at the corners. This is a characteristic of wide-angle optics and is intended for creative purposes. If this effect is undesirable for specific applications (e.g., real estate photography), consider if a wide-angle lens is suitable for your needs.
- Incompatibility with Other Filters: As noted in the setup section, this wide angle lens is not designed to be used simultaneously with other filters (ND, CPL) on the DJI OSMO Pocket 3. Attempting to stack filters may result in improper fit or image degradation.
