Using the filter (optional)

When you use a filter adaptor kit (optional: DMW-FA1), you can use the following filters. (As of July 2012)

PL filter	The PL filter helps suppress light reflected from a metal or non-spherical
DMW-LPLA37∗	surface (flat non-metallic surfaces, water vapor or invisible fine particles in the
	air) and enables you to take still pictures with enhanced contrast.
MC protector	The MC protector is a transparent filter that causes little change in colors or
DMW-LMCH37	light intensity and can be used to protect the camera lens.
ND filter	The ND filter does not cause any change in colors but it can reduce only the
DMW-LND37	light intensity by 1/8th (equivalent to adjusting the aperture value by 3 stops).

∗You cannot use the camera with a PL filter (DMW-LPL37) installed on it. (The DMW-LPL37 is thicker than the DMW-LPLA37, so the surrounding parts of the screen may sometimes darken (when vignetting, for example).)
