vNotes on using SJ-4 color filters

•These filters are consumable items. Replace them when they deteriorate or their colors fade.

•The heat generated from the flash head can warp the filters. However, this will not affect their performance.

•Scratches on the filters will have no effect on performance unless the filters fade in color.

•To remove dust or dirt, wipe the filter lightly with a soft, clean cloth.
