I want to use a lens filter with the SP-560UZ. What is the diameter of the filter thread?
The SP-560UZ does not have a filter thread. The grooves on the interior of the lens front are used to control the lens; lens filters cannot be attached to this thread. Filters with 55mm diameter can be attached to the SP-560UZ via the CLA-10 Lens Tube Adapter, sold separately. However, it is not recommended because vignetting may occur in the corners of the image when the camera is set to wide angle positions. Images taken with the SP-560UZ while using filters are not supported by Olympus. The CLA-10 Lens Tube Adapter is available from authorized Olympus dealers and also online from The Olympus Store.
