Using the MC Protector/ND Filter
The MC protector (DMW-LMC55; optional) 
neither affects the colors nor the amount of 
light, so it can always be left attached to 
protect the Digital Camera’s lens.
The ND filter (DMW-LND55; optional) 
reduces the amount of light to approximately 
1/8th without affecting the color balance.
[Preparation]
 Check that the power switch is set to [OFF] 
and the lens barrel is retracted.
 Close the flash. (P37)
1Remove the lens ring.
2Attach the lens hood adaptor 1.
3Install the MC protector 2 or the ND 
filter 3.
 The lens hood 4 and lens cap 5 can be 
attached when installing the MC protector or 
ND filter.
 When taking pictures with the flash using 
the MC protector/ND filter, vignetting effect 
may occur.
 Do not use the conversion lens.
If it is used with the supplied lens hood 
adaptor, it may break.
