Using the Protector/Filter (optional)

The MC protector (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 (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 (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.
