Filters

Filters intended for special-effects photography may

 

interfere with autofocus or the electronic rangefinder.

 

The D5500 can not be used with linear polarizing filters.

 

Use C-PL or C-PL II circular polarizing filters instead.

 

NC filters are recommended for protecting the lens.

 

To prevent ghosting, use of a filter is not recommended

 

when the subject is framed against a bright light, or

 

when a bright light source is in the frame.

 

Center-weighted metering is recommended with filters

 

with exposure factors (filter factors) over 1× (Y44, Y48,

 

Y52, O56, R60, X0, X1, C-PL, ND2S, ND4, ND4S, ND8,

 

ND8S, ND400, A2, A12, B2, B8, B12). See the filter

 

manual for details.
