7.1.5 Installing two filters in the filter holder

You can install two filters in the filter holder.
Note
• The total thickness of the two filters must not exceed 2 mm.
• The order in which you install the filters will not affect their performance. However, to
avoid narcissus effects, it is recommended that the filters are installed with the least
reflective side downwards in the filter holder (i.e., toward the detector).
• Filters are fragile. Handle them with the great care.
• Do not touch the filter surface when you install the filters. If this happens, clean the fil-
ter according to the manufacturer's instructions.
• Wear gloves or finger tips to handle the filters
• A set of filter holder equipment (filter holder, centering ring, filter spacer, threaded filter
ring, and magnets) and a filter holder tool are provided with the camera.
