Using the MC Protector/ND Filter

The MC protector (DMW-LMC55; 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-LND55; optional) reduces the amount of light to approximately 1/8th (equal to adjusting the aperture value 3 increments) without affecting the color balance.
