∫Attaching Filters
≥ Vignetting may occur if using 2 or more
MC protectors (optional:DMW-LMC46),
PL filters (optional:DMW-LPL46) or ND filters
(optional:DMW-LND46), or if using thick
protectors and/or filters.
≥ The filter may become impossible to remove if
excessively tightened, so please refrain from
tightening it too strongly.
≥ It is possible to attach the lens cap with the filter
already attached.
≥ If you have problems with the attachment or
removal of the PL filter (optional:DMW-LPL46), we
recommend turning on the digital camera and
trying again with the focus mode set to "manual"
([MF]).
≥ You cannot attach a conversion lens or adaptor to
this lens. A filter may be used, but attaching any
other element may cause damage to the lens.

Cautions for Use
Take care not to drop or knock the lens. Also
take care not to put a lot of pressure on the lens.

lens in as it may strongly shock the lens. The camera
may stop operating normally and pictures may no
longer be recorded. Also, the lens may be damaged.
When using pesticides and other volatile
substances around the camera make sure that
they do not get onto the lens.
≥ If such substances get onto the lens they can
damage the exterior case or cause the paint to peel.
Do not carry the unit when it is still attached to
the camera body.
≥ Under no circumstances should the unit be stored
in any of the following locations since doing so may
cause problems in operation or malfunctioning.
