How Do You Use Filters With Digital Cameras?
The use of glass or gelatin filters may not seem as necessary in digital photography as with film, but there are still benefits. Using filters can correct lighting problems that would take a long time in your computer editing program. You just need to know which filters work best with digital cameras. Read on to learn more. Know what filter-mounting options you have on your camera. Some consumer-grade digital cameras lack mounting threads for accessories like filters. Others may require a lens tube. Find out what size lens tube is best if you need one. Remember that longer tubes can cause a dark circle around the edge of photos (known as vignetting). The shortest tube you can find may be best, especially if you’re using conversion lenses. Determine the right size filter for your camera. A filter too small can cause vignetting. A filter too large will be more expensive and can cause flare, flash shadowing and viewfinder obstruction. Get the best lens cap to protect the lens and filter.
