FAQs

What is a circular polarizing filter?

A circular polarizing filter reduces reflections and glare from non-metallic surfaces like water and glass, while also enhancing colors and contrast in your images.

How do I know if my lens is compatible?

Check the filter thread size on your lens. The Sony Circular PL Filter is designed for 49mm lenses. This information is typically printed on the lens itself.

How do I clean the filter?

Use a soft, lint-free cloth to gently wipe the filter. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive pressure.

Can I use this filter for video?

Yes, this filter can be used for both photography and video, offering the same benefits in both applications.

What is the Carl Zeiss T* coating?

The Carl Zeiss T* coating is a special coating applied to the filter to reduce flare and ghosting, resulting in clearer and more detailed images.

What is the warranty?

Please refer to the product packaging or retailer for warranty details.

How do I store the filter?

Store the filter in its included carry case when not in use to protect it from scratches and dust.
