Leica V-Lux 5

I just ordered a Leica V-Lux 5.

What size filter does the lens take? (I looked online but found nothing.)

Will the lens hood still fit with a filter attached?

Any suggestions or hints for its operation that are not well covered in the manual?

Thanks

You find the specs here:

It says 62mm. The lens hood will probably not fit, but I haven't tried. 

If you know some German, this might be helpful (it sure was for me!):

Otherwise, try to get an English book on "how to handle", because the manual will tell you in detail how to switch on the camera and change the battery - and that's about it. 

Good luck! (I have mine since march this year and and am still tumbling back and forth between bliss and frustration ...)
