Kenko CPL Slim Smart Filter

Use this filter to greatly reduce reflections and glare from non-metallic surfaces. It also greatly reduces the softening effects caused by atmospheric haze.

Polarizing filters minimize glare when held at a 30-40 degree angle to a reflective surface such as glass or water. The filter's effect will be minimal in direct sunlight at noon, or at a 90-degree angle. These effects can be observed by rotating the filter and looking through the camera viewfinder. Remember, you need to adjust the polarizing filter first and then set the exposure control.

To make the sky a darker blue and make the clouds stand out more, point your camera towards the sun and shoot when the sun is at a 30-40 degree angle.

When shooting distant scenery, sometimes the scenery will appear blue. This is also caused by the polarization of light. Using a polarizing filter can greatly reduce the softening effect caused by atmospheric haze.

There are many ways to use polarizing filters to help you take the perfect photo. Reducing haze and enhancing color may seem like simple effects, but once used, these effects are essential for photographers of any interest level.

Regarding general care and operation of photography filters:

1. Use filters with care and keep them clean. When cleaning, please use cleaning paper or cleaning cloth. But before that, please use a blower or brush to remove dust and dirt from the lens.
   
2. Avoid cleaning filters unnecessarily.
   
3. Filters are made of glass. Once broken, glass shards may cause injury.
   
4. Do not disassemble the filter yourself.
   
5. When the filter is not attached to the lens, store it away from sharp objects. They may damage the filter glass.
   
6. Keep the filter out of the reach of children.
   
7. Place the filter in a plastic hard shell case or filter bag.
   
8. Keep filter dry and away from direct sunlight.
   
9. Avoid storage in high humidity environments. High humidity or dew may burn the coating, leaving hard-to-wipe marks on the glass surface.
