The MC protector 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 reduces the amount of light to approximately 1/8th (equal to adjusting the aperture
value 3 increments) without affecting the color balance.
PL filter 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.
Note
• When using the interchangeable lens (H-PS14042), turn this unit off and ensure the lens barrel is
retracted before attaching or removing a filter.
• Do not attach multiple filters at the same time.
• You can attach the lens cap or the lens hood when the filter is attached.
• Refer to the instructions for each filter for details.
If you use the remote shutter (DMW-RSL1: optional), you can avoid jitter (camera shake) when
using a tripod and you can keep the shutter pressed fully when taking pictures with [B] (Bulb) or
Burst Mode. The remote shutter works similar to the shutter button on the camera.
Note
• Always use a genuine Panasonic remote shutter (DMW-RSL1: optional).
• You cannot operate the camera with the remote shutter in the following cases.
– When the Sleep Mode is canceled
– When starting/ending the recording of motion pictures
• Read the operating instructions of the remote shutter for details.
By connecting the AC adaptor (optional), and then plugging them into an electrical socket, you
can connect this unit to a PC or printer and use without worrying about the capacity of the
battery. To use the AC adaptor, a DC coupler (optional) is required.
Note
• Always use a genuine Panasonic AC adaptor (optional).
• When using an AC adaptor, use the AC cable supplied with the AC adaptor.
• Also read the operating instructions for the AC adaptor and DC coupler.
