Using Filters
There are two types of lens filters available:
(1) general filters that are used to reproduce colors accurately; and
(2) special effect filters that are used to create special photographic
effects. Usually, the lens of the camera is equipped with a filter thread
on the front frame to which you will attach the filter.
Most compact cameras, though, are not
designed so a filter can be directly attached to the camera. But even
in such case, with camera models that have wide-angle and tele conversion
lenses, you can use the same adapter to attach a filter to the camera.
Be sure to use the adapter designed specifically for the camera model.
With small compact cameras that were not designed even for the use of
adapters, you can get a similar effect by taking the picture holding the
filter over the front of the lens.
