Using the MC Protector/ND Filter
The MC protector (DMW-LMC72; 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-LND72; optional) 
reduces the amount of light to 
approximately 1/8th (equal to adjusting the 
aperture value 3 increments) without 
affecting the color balance.

∫Battery
The battery is a rechargeable lithium ion 
battery. Its ability to generate power is 
based upon the chemical reaction that 
takes place inside it. This reaction is 
susceptible to the surrounding temperature 
and humidity, and, if the temperature is too 
high or too low, the operating time of the 
battery will be shorter.
When you go out, bring charged spare 
batteries.
 Prepare batteries with the charger equal 
to 3 to 4 times of the power for the desired 
operating time. The...
