Limpieza del filtro

To maintain optimal performance and image quality, keep your C-PL460 filter clean.

1. Use a blower brush to remove any loose dust or debris from the filter surface.
2. For smudges or fingerprints, apply a small amount of lens cleaning solution to a clean, soft microfiber cloth.
3. Gently wipe the filter surface in a circular motion from the center outwards. Avoid excessive pressure.
4. Do not use abrasive materials or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the filter's coating.

Solución de problemas

Filter Not Securely Seated / Falling Out

If the filter does not feel secure or tends to fall out of the lens slot:

• Verificar compatibilidad: Ensure your lens is specifically designed for slip-in filters of this size (46mm).
• Inserción adecuada: Make sure the filter is fully inserted into the slot. Some lenses require a firm but gentle push until it clicks or seats properly.
• Inspect Lens Slot: Check the lens filter slot for any obstructions or damage that might prevent the filter from seating correctly.
• Temporary Securement: For critical shoots, some users may opt for temporary securement methods like photographer's tape, but this should be a last resort and applied carefully to avoid residue.
• Contactar con soporte: If the issue persists, contact Nikon customer support for assistance.
