How this filter helps your solar photography

By cutting visible light by 16.6 stops, the filter lets you expose for fine solar detail rather than overall brightness. In addition, the UV/IR cut element helps keep colors neutral, and the Nano coating reduces unwanted reflections and glare. As a result, you can capture clearer, more detailed images of the sun while avoiding overexposure.

Usage and compatibility

The filter screws onto standard filter threads and works with many lenses that accept 95mm filters. You can attach and remove it quickly, which makes it practical for field work. Because it is compact and lightweight, you can carry it with your regular lens filters without adding significant bulk.

Cautions

• It is not appropriate for direct solar observation with the naked eye and should be used exclusively for photographic purposes.
• Check the solar filter for damage before each use by holding it up to a bright light (not the sun). Secure the filter properly by screwing it fully onto the lens.
• 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.
• 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 solar filter.
• Do not use an optical viewfinder when aligning your camera or telescope with the sun. It is recommended to use the camera’s live view feature for aligning and for viewing.
• Do not leave a camera unattended where a child or inexperienced adult could point it at the sun without the filter adequately attached.
• The filter may absorb solar energy and get hot during use. Use extra care when removing it.

FAQ
