5. Setup and Installation

Follow these steps to correctly install your magnetic lens filter system:

1. Prepare your iPhone: Ensure your iPhone's camera lenses are clean. If using a MagSafe compatible case, ensure it is properly installed on your phone.
2. Attach the Magnetic Holder: Place the 6.1 inch metal double-sided magnetic holder onto the back of your iPhone, aligning the cutout with your phone's camera module. The strong magnets will securely snap it into place. The holder is designed to fit over most MagSafe compatible cases.
3. Install the CPL Filter: Take the 67mm CPL filter and gently screw it onto the threaded front of the magnetic holder. Ensure it is tightened securely but do not overtighten.

The magnetic design allows for quick and secure attachment to your iPhone.

The liquid silicone coating provides a comfortable and secure grip while protecting your phone.

6. Operating Instructions

The 67mm CPL filter is designed to reduce glare and enhance colors. To achieve the desired effect:

• Adjusting Polarization: Once the CPL filter is attached, gently rotate the outer ring of the filter. As you rotate, observe the live preview on your iPhone's screen. You will notice changes in reflections on non-metallic surfaces (like water or glass) and an increase in color saturation, especially in blue skies.
• Optimal Effect: The maximum polarization effect is typically achieved when the filter is rotated to a specific angle relative to the light source. Experiment with different rotations to find the best result for your scene.
• Other Filters: The 67mm threaded design allows for the use of other 67mm threaded filters (e.g., ND, VND, Black Diffusion filters) with the magnetic mount (other filters sold separately).

Observe the effect of the CPL filter on water, reducing reflections and enhancing clarity.

The magnetic mount is compatible with a range of 67mm threaded filters, allowing for versatile photographic effects.

7. Maintenance

Proper care and maintenance will prolong the life and performance of your K&F CONCEPT filter system:

• Cleaning the Filter: Use the provided microfiber cleaning cloth to gently wipe the filter surface. For stubborn smudges, a small amount of lens cleaning solution can be applied to the cloth, not directly to the filter. Avoid using abrasive materials or harsh chemicals.
• Cleaning the Mount: The magnetic holder can be wiped clean with a soft, damp cloth. Ensure it is completely dry before reattaching to your phone.
• Storage: When not in use, store the filter and mount in the provided EVA carrying case to protect them from dust, scratches, and impacts.
• Handling: Always handle the filter by its edges to avoid leaving fingerprints on the glass surface. Avoid dropping the filter or mount, as this can cause damage.

8. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your K&F CONCEPT filter system, please refer to the following common solutions:

• Filter Not Fitting Securely:
  • Ensure the magnetic holder is correctly aligned with your iPhone's camera module.
  • Verify that your iPhone model is a 6.1-inch variant from the 12-16 series.
  • If using a phone case, ensure it is a MagSafe compatible case and does not obstruct the camera area or magnetic connection. Very thick cases may interfere with the magnetic hold.
• Light Leakage or Dark Corners in Photos:
  • Confirm the magnetic holder is flush against the phone's back and centered over the camera lenses.
  • Ensure the CPL filter is fully screwed onto the magnetic holder.
  • The product features an anti-light leakage and anti-dark corner design, but improper installation can still lead to these issues. Re-seat the holder and filter carefully.
• Weak Magnetic Hold:
  • Check for any debris or foreign objects between the phone and the magnetic holder.
  • If using a case, ensure it is not excessively thick or made of materials that significantly weaken magnetic attraction.
• Filter Effect Not Visible:
  • Ensure you are rotating the outer ring of the CPL filter while observing the live view on your phone's screen.
  • CPL filters primarily affect reflections on non-metallic surfaces and sky saturation. If your scene lacks these elements, the effect may be less noticeable.
