How to use

Select the desired filter colour for the lighting effect you want to achieve and insert the filter into the 21 cm holder or clip-on adapter on the light modifier. Ensure the filter sits flat and secure to avoid light leaks and uneven colour distribution. Test exposure and white balance with a few trial shots, adjusting power or distance of the light source as needed to achieve the intended saturation and intensity. Swap filters between shots as required for different looks.

Usage recommendations

Handle filters by their edges to avoid fingerprints and clean with a soft, lint-free cloth if necessary. Store the set flat or in a protective sleeve to prevent scratches and maintain consistent colour transmission. When mixing coloured light with ambient light, adjust white balance or use a colour meter to maintain accurate skin tones and product colours.
