How to Use an Ultraviolet Camera Lens

Ultraviolet light is something we can't see. However, your camera can see it. From an optical standpoint, a digital camera is not as vulnerable to ultraviolet light as film, but a UV filter can cut down on "purple fringing" and/or blue hues that occur in film and some digital cameras. Also, the use of an ultraviolet filter can protect your camera lens.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

1. Write down the diameter of your camera lenses or take your camera and lenses with you to buy the filter.
2. Purchase an ultraviolet filter for each of your camera lenses or opt for a filter system. In this case, you buy a filter-holder for the camera and interchangeable rings that fit your lenses. This is good for people who change filters often.
3. Screw the ultraviolet filter onto your camera lens.
4. Protect your camera lens from breakage, scratches, dust and moisture by leaving an ultraviolet filter on your camera lens whenever you're not using a different filter, even when storing it.
5. Use a blower brush to remove dust and sand from your camera lens and filter.
6. Breathe on the filter or lens, and carefully wipe away any fingerprints or smudges with a lens tissue.
7. Take your photos as you normally would. The filter blocks the ultraviolet light.
