Safety and handling — essential precautions

Follow these cautions every time you use the filter to protect your equipment and eyesight.

• Photographic use only: The filter is not appropriate for direct solar observation with the naked eye and should be used exclusively for photographic purposes.
• Inspect before use: Check the solar filter for damage before each use by holding it up to a bright light (not the sun).
• Secure mounting: Screw the filter fully onto the lens to ensure it is properly secured before pointing the camera at the sun.
• Not eye protection: The NiSi Solar Filter is not suitable eye protection for extended viewing of the sun or solar eclipses. Do not look directly or indirectly into the sun without appropriate eye protection.
• Attach before alignment: Install the Solar Filter in front of the camera lens or telescope before trying to align it with the sun. Point the camera away from the sun when attaching and removing the filter.
• Use live view for alignment: Do not use an optical viewfinder when aligning your camera or telescope with the sun. Use the camera’s live view feature for safe alignment and viewing.
• Supervise use: Do not leave a camera unattended where a child or inexperienced adult could point it at the sun without the filter adequately attached.
• Heat caution: The filter may absorb solar energy and get hot during use. Use extra care when removing it.
