5. Operasyon Enstriksyon

ND/PL hybrid filters serve two primary functions: reducing light (Neutral Density) and managing reflections/enhancing colors (Polarizer). The 'Bright Day Kit' provides filters for various bright light scenarios.

• ND (Neutral Density) Function: Reduces the amount of light entering the camera sensor, allowing you to use slower shutter speeds or wider apertures in bright conditions. This is crucial for achieving cinematic motion blur in videos and preventing overexposure.
• PL (Polarizer) Function: Rotates to reduce glare from non-metallic surfaces like water or glass, and enhances color saturation, making skies bluer and foliage greener. Adjust the filter by gently rotating it while attached to achieve the desired polarization effect.
• Seleksyon filtre:
  • ND8/PL: Ideal for cloudy to slightly bright days.
  • ND16/PL: Suitable for normal bright days.
  • ND32/PL: Best for very bright, sunny conditions.
  • ND64/PL: For extremely bright conditions, such as snow or beach scenes.

6. Antretyen

• Netwayaj: Use the provided cleaning cloth to gently wipe the filter surfaces. For stubborn smudges, a specialized lens cleaning solution can be used with the cloth. Avoid abrasive materials.

NAN. Depanaj

• Filter not attaching securely: Ensure the lens surface of the Osmo Pocket 3 is clean and free of debris. Check for any obstructions on the filter's magnetic ring.
• Image appears too dark/bright: Adjust your camera's exposure settings (ISO, shutter speed) or select a different ND/PL filter with a higher or lower ND value to match the ambient light.
• Unwanted reflections or glare: Gently rotate the ND/PL filter while observing the Osmo Pocket 3's screen to find the optimal angle for reflection reduction.
