Using the MC Protector/ND Filter
The MC protector (DMW-LMC55; 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-LND55; 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.

Cautions for Use
∫Optimal Use of the Camera
When carrying the camera, take care not 
to drop or cause impact to it.
 The lens or the outer case may be 
destroyed by the strong shock, and it 
causes a malfunction of the camera.
Keep the camera away from magnetised 
equipment (such as a microwave oven, 
TV, video game equipment, etc.).
 If you use the camera on or near a TV, 
pictures and sounds may be disrupted 
due to electromagnetic wave radiation.
 Do not use the camera near a cell...

∫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.
After use, be sure to remove the battery.
When you go out, bring charged spare 
batteries.
 Be aware that the operating time of the 
battery will become...
