    Connecting to other equipment
    Connect the camera to a printer via the USB connection cable A 
    (supplied).
    Note
    Do not use any other USB connection cables except the supplied one. Use of cables other than 
    the supplied USB connection cable may cause malfunction.
    Turn the camera off before connecting or disconnecting the AC adaptor (DMW-AC5PP; 
    optional).
    Before inserting or removing a card, turn the camera off, and disconnect the USB connection 
    cable.
    You cannot switch between the built-in memory and the card while the camera is connected to 
    the printer. Disconnect the USB connection cable, insert (or remove) the card and then connect 
    the USB connection cable to the printer again.

    Using the Protector/Filter
    The MC protector (DMW-LMC46; optional) is a transparent filter which affects neither the 
    colors nor the amount of light, so it can a lways be used to protect the camera’s lens.
    The ND filter (DMW-LND46; optional) reduces the amount of light to approximately 1/8th 
    (equal to adjusting the aperture value 3 incre ments) without affecting the color balance.
    PL filter (DMW-LPL46; optional) 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.
    Preparations: Turn off the camera and remove the lens cap.
    Remove the lens ring front.
    Be careful not to lose the lens ring front.
    Attach the lens adaptor.
