Using the MC 
Protector/ND Filter
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.

ND filter 2.
