Using the Protector/Filter (optional)
The MC protector (optional) is a transparent filter which affects neither the colours nor the
amount of light, so it can always be used to protect the camera’s lens.
The ND filter (optional) reduces the amount of light to approximately 1/8th (equal to
adjusting the aperture value 3 increments) without affecting the colour balance.
PL filter (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.
Attach the filter.
Note
• Do not attach multiple filters at the same time.
• If the filter is tightened too much, you may not be able to remove it. Do not tighten it too much.
• If the filter is dropped, it may be destroyed. Be careful not to drop it when attaching it to the
camera.
• Be careful not to get a fingerprint, dirt, etc., on the filter when it is attached, otherwise the focus
may be adjusted to the lens, resulting in the subject being out of focus.
• You can attach the lens cap or the lens hood when the filter is attached.
• Refer to the instructions for each filter for details.
