The MC protector (DMW-LMC46; 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-LND46; optional) 
reduces the amount of light to 
approximately 1/8th (equal to adjusting the 
aperture value 3 increments) without 
affecting the color balance.

Close the flash, turn on the digital camera, 
rotate the zoom lever to Tele and then 
attach the MC protector/ND filter with the 
lens barrel on the digital camera extended.
When attaching or removing the MC 
protector/ND filter, hold the ring at the end 
of the lens barrel with your hand so it does 
not rotate and then rotate the MC protector/
ND filter slowly and surely to attach or 
remove it.

• Do not attach the MC protector and ND 

filter at the same time.

• If the MC protector/ND filter are tightened 

too much, you may not be able to remove 
them. Do not tighten them too much.

• If the MC protector/ND filter are dropped, 

they may be destroyed. Be careful not to 
drop them when attaching them to the 
camera.

• Be careful not to get a fingerprint, dirt, etc. 

on the MC protector or ND filter when it is 
attached, otherwise the focus may be 
adjusted to the lens, resulting in the 
subject being out of focus.
