Optional accessories
•Some optional accessories may not be available in some countrie s.
By connecting the AC adaptor (optional), and then plugging them into an electrical socket, 
you can connect this unit to a PC or printer and use without wo rrying about the capacity of 
the battery.
To use the AC adaptor, a DC coupler (optional) is required.
•
Always use a genuine Panasonic AC adaptor (optional).•When using an AC adaptor, use the AC cable supplied with the AC  adaptor.
•Also read the operating instructions for the AC adaptor and DC coupler.
∫Conversion lens (optional)
You can easily widen the range of expression of the unit by installing a compatible lens.
•
We recommend that you use a conversion lens that is compatible  with this unit.
Use of a non-compatible conversion lens or adaptor may result i n breakage or damage to the 
lens.
•For details, refer to the operating instructions of the relevan t conversion lenses.
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.
•
When using the interchangeable lens (H-PS14042), turn this unit  off and ensure the lens barrel 
is retracted before attaching or removing a filter.
•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.
AC adaptor (optional)/DC coupler (optional)
Wide conversion lens: Wide-angle effect allows a wider field of  view.
Tele conversion lens: Telescopic effect allows a higher level of  magnification.
Macro conversion lens: Allows higher level of magnification of s mall subjects.
Fish eye conversion lens: Enables recording of image with stretched perspective.
