By using the AC adaptor (optional) and DC coupler (optional), you can record and play 
back without worrying about the remaining battery charge.
The optional DC coupler can only be used with the designated Panasonic AC adaptor 
(optional).
•
Always use a genuine Panasonic AC adaptor (optional).•When using an AC adaptor (optio nal), use the AC cable supplied with the AC adaptor.
•When the DC coupler is being mounted, the DC coupler cover open s, so the structure ceases 
to be dust-proof and splash-proof. Be careful not to allow sand , dust and water etc. to adhere to 
or enter the structure. After use, check that there is no forei gn matter attached to the coupler 
cover, and close it firmly.
•Also read the operating instructions for the AC adaptor (option al) and DC coupler.
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 1/8t h (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 t he air), making it possible to 
take a picture with enhanced contrast.
•
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.
