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 1/8th (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 the air), making it possible to 
take a picture with enhanced contrast.
•
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.
