Others Digital Camera Accessory System Using the filter (optional) When you use a filter adaptor kit (optional: DMW-FA1), you can use the following filters. (As of July 2012) PL filter DMW-LPLA37* The PL filter helps suppress light reflected from a metal or non-spherical surface (flat non-metallic surfaces, water vapor or invisible fine particles in the air) and enables you to take still pictures with enhanced contrast. MC protector DMW-LMCH37 The MC protector is a transparent filter that causes little change in colors or light intensity and can be used to protect the camera lens. ND filter DMW-LND37 The ND filter does not cause any change in colors but it can reduce only the light intensity by 1/8th (equivalent to adjusting the aperture value by 3 stops). * You cannot use the camera with a PL filter (DMW-LPL37) installed on it. (The DMW-LPL37 is thicker than the DMW-LPLA37, so the surrounding parts of the screen may sometimes darken (when vignetting, for example).) ■■How to install a filter adaptor Preparation: ••Set [Sleep Mode] in the [Setup] menu to [OFF] (→36). ••Remove the lens cap, and turn the camera ON/OFF switch to [ON].
