To the opening of the lens to protect against dirt and external damages is based attachment for attaching 49mm filters optimally. In addition, a UV protective filter should be screwed (I bought the Polaroid Optics 49mm 4-piece Filter Set - here is in addition to the UV filter also a small selection of other 49mm screw filters at a good price here). In addition, I have provided on the screen even a LARMOR GGS LCD Screen Protector glass for Sony DSC-RX100 our II. Until now, this combination proves to "safeguards" as not disturbing and for the durability of the device as optimal.
