Information
- Light rays which are reflected by any surface become polarised and polarising filters are used to select which
light rays enter your camera lens.
- PL (Linear Polarising) and PL-CIR (Circular Polarising) filters have the same effect, but it is important that
you choose the correct version for your camera.
- They allow you to remove unwanted reflections from non-metallic surfaces such as water, glass etc.
- They also enable colours to become more saturated and appear clearer, with better contrast.
- This effect is often used to increase the contrast and saturation in blue skies and white clouds.
- Polarising filters do not affect the overall colour balance of a shot.

How to select the correct Polarising filter:
- Many of today's cameras use semi-silvered mirrors or prisms to split the light entering the
viewfinder in order to calculate exposure and focusing distance. PL (Linear Polarising)
filters can sometimes interact with these items to give unpredictable exposure or focusing.
- So we recommend that you choose a PL-CIR filter unless you have a manual focus camera which has no beam splitter.
