Kodak DCS500 manual Anti-aliasing and IR Filters

Anti-aliasing and IR Filters

Your camera contains an anti-aliasing or an IR filter. It may be necessary to remove the filter for cleaning. While it is not essential, you can wear lint-free, static-free gloves, available from your camera dealer.

The antialiasing or IR filter can accommodate a fair amount of dust before cleaning is necessary. It should be cleaned less often than the imager to avoid damage.

Removing, Cleaning, and Re-installing the Anti-aliasing Filter

1 Turn off the camera.

2 Remove the lens from the camera.

☛ Be very careful when removing the filter, as it is a very fragile device.

3 Carefully unscrew the captive screw at the bottom of the filter bracket using a jewelers screwdriver.
