3Select [CONVERSION] on the [REC] Mode menu. (P48)
•Refer to P127 for [CONVERSION].
4Press  3/4  to select [ ], and then press [MENU/SET] to set.
•Set in same way to select [ ] too.•Always set to [OFF] when the conversion lens is taken off.
Note
•Lens adapter (DMW-LA5; optional) is needed to use the conversion lens.•MC protector (DMW-LMC52; optional) or ND f ilters (DMW-LND52; optional) cannot be used 
together with the conversion lens. Remove them before attaching the conversion lens.
•Do not use with anything other than DMW-LC55 or DMW-LT55.•When there is dirt (water, oil, and fingerprints, etc.) on the surface of the lens, the image may 
be affected. Lightly wipe the surface of the lens with a soft, dry cloth before and after taking 
pictures.
•When using the tele conversion lens:–We recommend using a tripod.–The Stabilizer function may not work sufficiently.–The focus indication may light due to the jitter even if the subject is not focused.–The time required for focusing may become longer than usual.
The MC protector (DMW-LMC52; 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-LND52; 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 (DMW-LPL52; optional) will suppress the reflected light from a metal or non 
spherical surfaces (flat non-metallic surfaces, wa ter vapour or invisible particles in the air), 
making it possible to take a picture with enhanced contrast.
Note
•
Do not attach multiple filters at the same time.•If the filter is tightened too much, you may not be able to remove it. Do not tighten it too much.•You cannot attach the filter when the lens hood is attached.•If the filter is dropped, it may be destroyed. Be careful not to drop it when attaching it to the 
camera.
•Be careful not to get a fingerprint, dirt, etc., on the filter when it is attached, otherwise the focus 
may be adjusted to the lens, resulting in the subject being out of focus.
•Refer to the instructions for each filter for details.

∫ When using other commercially available external flashes without 
communication functions with the camera
•
It is necessary to set the exposure on the external flash. If you want to use the external flash in 
Auto Mode, use an external flash that allows you to set the aperture value and the ISO 
sensitivity to match the settings on the camera.
•Set to Aperture-Priority AE Mode or Manual Exposure Mode on the camera and then set the 
same aperture value and ISO sensitivity on the external flash. (The exposure cannot be 
compensated adequately due to the change on the aperture value in Shutter-Priority AE Mode 
and the external flash cannot control the light adequately in Program AE Mode because the 
aperture value cannot be fixed.)
External Flash (optional)

Others
Note
•You can set the aperture value, the shutter speed and the ISO sensitivity on the camera even 
when attaching the external flash.
•Some commercial external flashes have synchro terminals with high-voltage or reversed 
polarity. Using such extra flashes may cause a malfunction or the camera may not operate 
normally.
•If you use commercially available external flashes with communication functions other than the 
dedicated one, they may not operate normally or they may be damaged. Do not use them.

a tripod when taking picture.
•Turn off the camera when removing the external flash.•Detach the external flash when carrying the camera.•When attaching the external flash, do not hold only the external flash because it may detach 
from the camera.
•If you use the external flash when the White Balance is set to [ ] finely adjust the White 
Balance depending on the picture quality.  (P115)
•If you take pictures close to the subject in Wi de, the vignetting effect may appear on the bottom 
of the recorded picture.
•The external flash cannot be used while the stereo microphone (DMW-MS1; optional) is in use.•Read the operating instructions of the external flash for details.
