vNotes on using color filters

These filters are consumable items. When they fade in color or deteriorate, replace them with the backup filters provided.

Do not use these filters when taking pictures with repeating flash, as the heat can damage them.

The heat generated from the flash head can deform color 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.
