RX100 Quick-Change Filter Adapter attachment directions.

• Best done at room temperature.
• Use the alcohol wipe to clean the front of the lens barrel. Use care not to squeeze excess fluid onto the camera. Allow to dry completely.
• Turn the camera on and remove the battery.
• Place the installation tool over the end of the lens.
• Peel away the clear backing on receiver across the part rather than up. Rotate it to the desire orientation, (we think it looks best with the "wings" on the sides, though their orientation doesn't affect function), and lower it into the guide tool.
• Once you press it down, there's no more adjusting possible (without removing it).
• Use the side of a credit card to apply firm pressure across the receiver and remove the guide tool. (keep it in case you want to use it again). Replace the battery, and turn the camera off. When the lens is in the closed position, press firmly on the receiver and you're done.

Removing the Lensmate RX100 Quick-change receiver from the camera

• Don't turn the camera on, just remove the battery. Lay the camera on its back. Let the thread of the removal tool find the space between the receiver and the end of the lens. Loop it around the top half of the receiver and pull downwards as shown - it should easily separate the two.
• Don't reuse the same adhesive once removed as it's probably been compromised in the removal process.

• How much does the Lensmate RX100 lens adapter weigh?


• Will the camera be as "pocketable" with the RX100 adapter added?


• I am going to a hot and humid climate, is the adhesive on the part that stays on the camera still going to hold?


• Can I attach a conversion lens with the adapter?


• Will using the Lensmate RX100 filter adapter void my warranty?


• Can I reattach the filter receiver after removing it?


• Will the receiver on the camera lens affect the built in lens cover?


• Can I use more than one filter at a time?

• How much does the Lensmate RX100 lens adapter weigh?
  The combined weight of the receiver and filter holder is about 5 grams. A thin 49mm polarizer weighs about 15 grams for a combined weight of 20 grams. With the vented hood added, total weight is 32 grams.


• Will the camera be as "pocketable" with the RX100 adapter added?
  You'd probably not even notice the difference - the receiver itself adds only 3mm or 1/8" to the camera.


• I am going to a hot and humid climate, is the adhesive on the part that stays on the camera still going to hold?
  Yes, the adhesive is good to at least 200 deg F (~93 deg C). Humidity should not be a factor. If you want to read more about the adhesive it's 3M 9731.


• Can I attach a conversion lens with the adapter?
  We recommend attaching only filters or macro lenses to the RX100.


• Will using the Lensmate RX100 filter adapter void my warranty?
  If you need to send the camera in for service, just remove the receiver. It will come off cleanly with no residue left on the camera.


• Can I reattach the filter receiver after removing it?
  

  We don't recommend it - the adhesive is usually compromised and won't have the bond strength it had. (We no longer sell the adhesive sticker alone because its placement on the receiver is critical and requires a fixture to position it precisely.)

  If you find the need to remove the receiver and would like to replace it, it's best to replace it with a new receiver which we now sell singly. When you return your used receiver, you will receive a full refund for the item.

  


• Will the receiver on the camera lens affect the built in lens cover?
  No, the RX100 receiver does not affect the automatic lens cover in any way.


• Can I use more than one filter at a time?
  In the 49mm size, you can stack 2 filters (for example, 2 ND filters of normal depth, or one normal depth polarizer + ND filter) with no vignetting. To combine the slotted hood and polarizer, the polarizer must be low profile. The same applies to the 52mm setup, except you can use a normal depth (7mm) polarizer and slotted hood combined.
