Betjeningsvejledning

This section details how to use the various filters included in your kit to achieve desired photographic and videographic effects.

Using CPL Filters and VND Combination

The CPL filters help reduce glare and reflections, enhancing color saturation and contrast. By combining CPL1 with CPL2 or CPL3, you can create a Variable Neutral Density (VND) filter.

• CPL Function: Attach a single CPL filter magnetically to the clamp. Rotate the filter to adjust the polarization effect, reducing reflections from non-metallic surfaces like water or glass, and deepening blue skies.
• VND Combination:
  • VND 2-5 Stops: Stack CPL1 and CPL2 magnetically.
  • VND 6-9 Stops: Stack CPL1 and CPL3 magnetically (if CPL3 is included in your specific kit).
• Adjusting VND: Once stacked, rotate the outer ring of the VND combination to seamlessly adjust the light reduction from 2 to 5 stops (or 6 to 9 stops), allowing for precise exposure control in bright conditions. This prevents the common "X-pattern" often seen with lower quality VND filters.

Note: "No vignetting" is generally achieved only at focal lengths greater than or equal to 16mm with full-frame cameras and lenses when using these filters.

Using the Black Diffusion 1/4 Filter

The Black Diffusion 1/4 filter is designed to create a soft, cinematic look by subtly diffusing light and reducing contrast, making it ideal for portraits and atmospheric shots.

• Vedhæftet fil: Simply attach the Black Diffusion 1/4 filter magnetically to the adjustable clamp.
• Effekt: This filter softens harsh light sources, reduces blemishes and wrinkles in portraits, and creates a gentle glow around highlights, contributing to a dreamy or vintage æstetik.
