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 vapour 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 colours 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 colours 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).)
