What are the best accessories to maximize the capabilities of the Sanyo HD1a?

I have been shooting many videos and photos with my HD1a and i realized i could improve it many ways and was confused when i was choosing between telephoto and wide-conversion lenses? so i am a little stumped and i would also like to know what are the best settings in outdoor photography, as i keep trying and it still remains blurry.

unfortunately, the issues are in settings, but in the fact that you optically lose a stop of light and lose some clarity due to using one lens essentially on top of the other. You could perhaps shoot using a lighter preset, or make the white balance a tad hotter. That may help. But optically, you lose what you lose. It's a tradeoff for offering that capability on a camera which you can't change lenses on.
