(DMC-FZ200) : DMW-LA7

(DMC-FZ60) : DMW-LA5

MC protector (DMW-LMC52: optional) or ND filters (DMW-LND52: optional) cannot be used together with the conversion lens. Remove them before attaching the conversion lens.

Do not use with anything other than DMW-LC55 or DMW-LT55.

When there is dirt (water, oil, and fingerprints, etc.) on the surface of the lens, the image may be affected. Lightly wipe the surface of the lens with a soft, dry cloth before and after taking pictures.

When using the tele conversion lens:

We recommend using a tripod.

The Stabilizer function may not work sufficiently.

The focus indication may light due to the jitter even if the subject is not focused.

The time required for focusing may become longer than usual.

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.

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 operating instructions for each filter for details.
