NEEWER 2 in 1 77mm Variable ND2-ND32 & CPL Filter Instruction Manual

Introduction

This manual provides essential information for the proper use and care of your NEEWER 2 in 1 77mm Variable ND2-ND32 & CPL Filter. This innovative filter combines the functions of a variable neutral density (ND) filter and a circular polarizer (CPL) filter, offering enhanced creative control over your photography and videography.

1. Confirm Lens Compatibility

Before attaching the filter, verify your camera lens's thread size. The thread size is typically marked on the front or side of your lens, often next to a "Ф" (diameter) symbol. This filter is compatible with all lenses that have a 77mm thread size.

2. Attaching the Filter

Gently align the filter's threads with your lens's threads. Rotate the filter clockwise until it is securely fastened. Avoid overtightening to prevent damage to both the filter and your lens.

3. Lens Cap Compatibility

Due to the ultra-slim design and wider front diameter of this filter, a lens cap or hood of 82mm is required, not a 77mm cap. Please ensure you have the correct size lens cap for proper protection.

1. Adjusting the Variable ND Effect

The filter allows for a 1-5 stop reduction in light (ND2 to ND32). To adjust the neutral density, rotate the outer ring of the filter. Laser-etched marks indicate the ND levels, allowing for precise control. This feature is ideal for shooting in bright conditions, enabling wider apertures or slower shutter speeds to achieve motion blur effects.

2. Adjusting the CPL Effect

After setting your desired ND level, you can rotate the serrated frame of the filter to adjust the circular polarizing (CPL) effect. This reduces reflections and glare from non-metallic surfaces such as water or glass, and enhances color saturation and contrast in the sky.

3. Avoiding Dark Cross Shadow

This NEEWER filter incorporates self-locking technology to prevent the common issue of dark cross shadows or vignetting when used with wide-angle lenses. This ensures consistent image quality across the frame.

The filter features HD optical glass with 30 layers of nano coatings, making it water repellent, oil repellent, and scratch resistant. To clean, gently wipe the filter surface with the included cleaning cloth or a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth. For stubborn smudges, use a small amount of lens cleaning solution applied to the cloth, not directly to the filter. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemicals.

When not in use, store the filter in its protective case to prevent dust accumulation and accidental damage.

Проблемаларды чечүү

• Difficulty Adjusting ND/CPL: If you find it hard to adjust one effect without affecting the other, ensure you are rotating the correct ring. The ND adjustment is typically the inner ring, and the CPL adjustment is the outer serrated frame. Sometimes, a firm but gentle grip on the stationary part of the filter is needed while rotating the adjustable part.
• Vignetting or Dark Cross: This filter is designed to minimize dark cross shadows on wide-angle lenses. If you experience vignetting, ensure the filter is correctly seated and not cross-threaded. Also, check if you are using an additional filter (e.g., UV filter) underneath, which might increase the overall thickness and cause vignetting.
• Filter Stuck on Lens: If the filter becomes difficult to remove, try using a rubber filter wrench for better grip. Avoid using excessive force, which can damage the lens or filter threads.
• Reflections Still Present: For optimal CPL effect, rotate the outer ring while observing your viewfinder or screen. The polarizing effect is strongest at certain angles relative to the light source.
