Using the Protector/Filter (optional)
The MC protector (DMW-LMC52; optional) is a transparent filter which affects neither the
colors nor the amount of light, so it can always be used to protect the camera’s lens.
The ND filter (DMW-LND52; optional) reduces the amount of light to approximately 1/8th
(equal to adjusting the aperture value 3 increments) without affecting the color balance.
PL filter (DMW-LPL52; optional) will suppress the reflected light from a metal or non
spherical surfaces (flat non-metallic surfaces, water vapour or invisible particles in the air),
making it possible to take a picture with enhanced contrast.

Note
• Do not attach multiple filters at the same time.
• If the filter is tightened too much, you may not be able to remove it. Do not tighten it too much.
• You cannot attach the filter when the lens hood is attached.
• If the filter is dropped, it may be destroyed. Be careful not to drop it when attaching it to the
camera.
• Be careful not to get a fingerprint, dirt, etc., on the filter when it is attached, otherwise the focus
may be adjusted to the lens, resulting in the subject being out of focus.
• Refer to the instructions for each filter for details.
