Protector/Filter (optional)
The MC protector (DMW-LMCH55: 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-LNDH55: 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-LPL55: optional) will suppress the reflected light from a metal or non 
spherical surfaces (flat non-metallic surfaces, water vapor or invisible particles in the air), 
making it possible to take a picture with enhanced contrast.
 ●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.
 ●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 operating 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.)
