Using the Protector/Filter
The MC protector (DMW-LMC46; optional) is a transparent filter which affects neither the
colours nor the amount of light, so it can always be used to protect the camera’s lens.
The ND filter (DMW-LND46; optional) reduces the amount of light to approximately 1/8th
(equal to adjusting the aperture value 3 increments) without affecting the colour balance.
PL filter (DMW-LPL46; 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.
Turn the camera on, and slide the [REC]/[PLAYBACK] selector switch
to [

].
Extend the lens by turning the zoom lever toward the Tele.
•
Close the flash.
Attach the filter with the lens extended.
•
Hold the ring at the end of the lens barrel with your hand so it does not rotate and then rotate
slowly and surely.
