Using the MC Protector/ND Filter

The MC protector (DMW-LMC46; 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-LND46; optional) reduces the amount of light to approximately 1/8th (equal to adjusting the aperture value 3 increments) without affecting the color balance.

Close the flash, turn on the digital camera, rotate the zoom lever to Tele and then attach the MC protector/ND filter with the lens barrel on the digital camera extended. When attaching or removing the MC protector/ND filter, hold the ring at the end of the lens barrel with your hand so it does not rotate and then rotate the MC protector/ ND filter slowly and surely to attach or remove it.

Attach the MC protector 1 or ND filter 2 with the lens extended.

•Do not attach the MC protector and ND filter at the same time.

•If the MC protector/ND filter are tightened too much, you may not be able to remove them. Do not tighten them too much.

•If the MC protector/ND filter are dropped, they may be destroyed. Be careful not to drop them when attaching them to the camera.

•Be careful not to get a fingerprint, dirt, etc. on the MC protector or ND filter when it is attached, otherwise the focus may be adjusted to the lens, resulting in the subject being out of focus.
