The Tiffen 72mm Black Diffusion/FX 3 Filter diffuses strong light entering the lens and produces a glowing effect. While the resulting image appears softer and ethereal, there is little loss of clarity or detail. This filter works by diffusing the light entering the lens with small aberrations; by spreading the light more evenly, a soft glow is created rather than the sharp, well-defined image when shooting without a filter. This filter has a 3 density, providing a moderate amount of softening.

Tiffen filters are made using ColorCore technology, a process that involves laminating the filter substrate between 2 pieces of optical glass, grinding flat to a tolerance of 1/10,000th of an inch, and then mounting to precision metal rings.

Q: 10. I haven't been able to get my computer (using Windows 7) to recognize my SJ4000 Wi-Fi as a webcam. Does one use a USB cable or is a special adapter needed? What camera settings are required on the Setup menu when used as a webcam?

A: Once you connect your camera to the computer with the provided USB cable, it should be recognized by your computer. Therefore what is needed is to trouble shoot. Make sure the USB ports on the computer and camera are clean and that the cable and memory card are firmly attached. Do not use a hub and detach any other USB device except keyboard and mouse and restart computer and camera. If the issue is still not resolved after restart, connect the camera to another USB port on the computer, or uninstall and reinstall the USB driver, or use a different USB cable, or, finally, reset the camera back to original factory settings if that is possible.
