The Heliopan 43mm Digital UV-IR Cut Filter has been specifically designed for use with digital cameras and blocks UV and infrared radiation in order to achieve greater color separation and more accurate color reproduction. By passing only the visible spectrum, digital capture is more accurate when photographing in artificial lighting conditions.

The front and rear surfaces of the filter both feature a single anti-reflection coating. Each coating helps to increase light transmission by reducing reflections, scattered light, and ghosting. Additionally, they offer protection to the filter substrate while helping to keep the glass clean for longer than uncoated glass.

This Heliopan filter is constructed from Schott glass for increased optical clarity and color fidelity. It features a brass filter ring for durability as well as jamming prevention.

A: According to the terms and conditions on the Panasonic Limited Warranty form, the warranty only applies to products purchased and serviced in the United States. As such, for warranty repair issue needs, you would have to send the lens back to Panasonic in the United States, as the lens does not have international warranty repair from Panasonic. If you need international warranty repair, I would recommend considering purchasing one of the SquareTrade Extended Service Protection Plans offered on our website once you click the blue "Add To Cart" button on our website.
