3. Configuración e instalación

Installing the Hama UV Filter 390 is a straightforward process. Ensure your camera lens has a 67mm filter thread for proper compatibility.

Pasos de instalación:

1. Identify Lens Thread Size: Locate the filter thread size on your camera lens. This is usually printed on the front of the lens barrel or on the inside of the lens cap. Confirm it is 67mm.
2. Retirar a tapa da lente: Carefully remove the front lens cap from your camera lens.
3. Align Filter: Hold the Hama UV Filter 390 with the threaded side facing the lens. Align the filter's threads with the threads on the front of your lens.
4. Screw On: Gently turn the filter clockwise. Ensure it threads smoothly without forcing it. If you encounter resistance, unscrew, realign, and try again. Cross-threading can damage both the filter and your lens.
5. Tighten Gently: Once the filter is fully threaded, tighten it just enough so it is secure. Avoid over-tightening, as this can make it difficult to remove later.

The filter is now installed and ready for use. You can typically attach your lens cap or lens hood directly onto the filter's front thread.

4. Principios de funcionamento

The Hama UV Filter 390 operates by selectively absorbing ultraviolet light, which is invisible to the human eye but can affect photographic images, especially in bright, outdoor conditions or at high altitudes.

Como funciona:

• UV Light Reduction: The filter's specialized glass and coating absorb UV radiation, preventing it from reaching the camera sensor. This reduces atmospheric haze and improves clarity and contrast in distant subjects.
• Protección física: Beyond optical benefits, the filter acts as a sacrificial layer. In the event of accidental bumps, scratches, or exposure to dust and moisture, the filter bears the brunt, protecting the more expensive front element of your lens.
• Multi-Coating Benefits: The HTMC (8x) multi-coating minimizes internal reflections and flare, ensuring that the filter itself does not degrade image quality by introducing unwanted light artifacts.
