3. Setup Instructions

Follow these steps to attach the CPL filter to your smartphone:

1. Attach the Filter Clip: Gently open the universal filter clip and position it over your phone's camera lens(es). Ensure the clip's opening is centered over the primary camera lens you intend to use. The soft rubber pads on the clip protect your phone from scratches.
2. Secure the Clip: Use the adjustable metal knob on the clip to tighten it securely onto your phone. This ensures the clip remains stable during use. Do not overtighten.
3. Install the CPL Filter: Screw the 67mm CPL filter into the threaded opening of the filter clip. Turn clockwise until it is finger-tight. The filter should sit flush within the clip.

4. Operating Instructions

To achieve the desired polarizing effect:

• Rotate the Filter: Once attached, look through your phone's camera display. Slowly rotate the outer ring of the CPL filter. You will observe changes in reflections and color saturation on your screen.
• Adjust for Desired Effect: Continue rotating until you achieve the desired level of glare reduction or color enhancement. For example, reflections on water surfaces will diminish, and the sky's blue will deepen.
• Versatile Use: The 67mm CPL filter can also be directly attached to camera lenses with a 67mm filter thread, offering flexibility beyond smartphone photography.

5. Maintenance and Care

To ensure the longevity and performance of your CPL filter:

• Cleaning: Use the provided cleaning cloth to gently wipe away dust, fingerprints, or smudges from the filter glass. For stubborn marks, a small amount of lens cleaning solution applied to the cloth (not directly to the filter) can be used. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemicals.
• Storage: Always store the filter in its protective carrying case when not in use. This prevents scratches and protects it from dust and impacts.
• Handling: Avoid touching the glass surface directly with your fingers. Hold the filter by its metal frame.

6. Troubleshooting

• Vignetting (Dark Corners):
  Solution: Ensure the filter clip is perfectly centered over your phone's camera lens. While the filter has a slim frame to minimize vignetting, extreme wide-angle phone lenses might still show slight vignetting. Adjusting the zoom slightly can sometimes resolve this.
• Weak or No Polarizing Effect:
  Solution: The polarizing effect is achieved by rotating the filter. Ensure you are slowly rotating the outer ring of the CPL filter while observing your phone's screen. The effect is most pronounced when the light source is at a 90-degree angle to your camera.
• Filter Clip Not Secure:
  Solution: Ensure the metal knob on the filter clip is tightened sufficiently. The rubber pads should provide a firm grip without damaging your phone.
