 Circular Polarising

What the filter does to incoming light

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.

• 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.
