We recommend that you use a conversion lens that is compatible with this unit. Use of a non-compatible conversion lens or adaptor may result in breakage or damage to the lens.

For details, refer to the operating instructions of the relevant conversion lenses.

Protector/Filters (optional)

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

PL filter 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

When using the interchangeable lens (H-PS14042), turn the power switch [OFF] and ensure the lens barrel is retracted before attaching or removing a filter.

Do not attach multiple filters at the same time.

You can attach the lens cap or the lens hood when the filter is attached.

Refer to the instructions for each filter for details.

AC adaptor (optional)/DC coupler (optional)

By connecting the AC adaptor (optional), and then plugging them into an electrical socket, you can connect this unit to a PC or printer and use without worrying about the capacity of the battery. To use the AC adaptor, a DC coupler (optional) is required.

Note

Always use a genuine Panasonic AC adaptor (optional).

When using an AC adaptor, use the AC cable supplied with the AC adaptor.

Also read the operating instructions for the AC adaptor and DC coupler.
