FILTERS
5380                    Set 4 Effects Filters - 28mm
(Name / Color  / Exposure Factor *) +++
1) UV - Transparent - Absorbs ultraviolet rays without increase of exposure,
thereby preventing haziness and foggy effects in distant landscapes. Constant
use of this filter is recommended as a lens protector.
2) Circular Polarizer (C-P.L)  -  Gray - Removes or reduces reflections from
nonmetallic surfaces, darkens blue sky while increasing color saturation,
penetrates haze. Simply rotate the filter in its mount until the optimum effect
is obtained.
3) Neutral Density 4 Light Gray   ND4 transmits 25% of the light
4) Neutral Density 8 Medium Gray  ND8 transmits 12.5% of the light
Neutral Density (ND) filter is used for reducing amount of light without
changing color rendition. Exposure Factor is compensated for with camera's
automatic TTL exposure metering system
