The Tiffen 72mm Warm Black Diffusion/FX 1 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. In addition to the diffusion provided, a warming effect is also integrated into the filter helping to further balance skin tones. This filter has a 1 density, providing a small 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: 5. I'm exceptionally annoyed at the very poor instructions that come with this camera. The instructions on the manufacturer's website are identical to the manual in the box but are actually legible - which is of little help! I've seen video recorded by an SJ4000 and I know the results are good, but getting there is frustrating. Just a few of many questions to come:1. I don't see a way to register the camera for warranty, recall notices or firmware updates. This includes a review of the manufacturer's website. How is one notified of updates?2. The Mode symbols described in the manual do not match the mode symbols on my camera. My camera has the following symbols:Yellow circleAlternating yellow and red circleBlue camera symbolBlue arrowWhat do each of these symbols mean? I think I know for the camera symbol but not sure of the rest.3. What does it mean when the blue and yellow lights on the camera body are flashing simultaneously?4. On the Setup menu, what is motion detection and how does it work?I would appreciate any help available. Thank you.
