FAQ

Where does the clip filter go?

The clip filter sits nicely on the cavity in your camera body, before the mirror. It doesn't get in touch with the sensor at all.

Will the mirror damage the filter or vice versa?

No, when the clip filter is in place, the mirror will rest on the clip filter frame which is made of 304 stainless steel and padded with shock absorbing material. 

Is it okay to release the mirror lock?

Absolutely! There is no harm to be caused to the mirror or the filter. It's perfectly fine to leave the clip filter in the body even when powered off.

Installation Procedure

A. Select LV (liveview mode) after turning on the camera. The mirror will lock up and then remove the lens.

B. Slide the Astro-M clip filter at an inclined angle of 45º into the camera as shown below.

C. Make sure the clip filter fit nicely and flat

D. Attach the camera lens and start capturing via LV mode
