Formatt 4X4 Clear HD/DV Soft Effects #3 Filter

Description

• Glass filters are made with Schott Water White Optical glass
• Color and effects are digitally applied to a wafer thin mebrane layered between two pieces of ground glass. This process is called A.C.T(Absorption Cell Technology)
• All Formatt filters are polished to within 2 microns of optical flatness
• Formatt filters are 1mm thick and edge framed. All filters come with a individual wave deviation chart to certify quality.
• All filters come with a 10 year guarantee against fading or color shift.

Formatt Filters' HD Soft Filter is designed to soften the harsh outlines that can result in HD work, but with minimal loss of detail and contrast. The filters allow light to pass through for the most part undisturbed, however a small part of the surface area of the filter has a series of tiny perfect hemispheres (significantly smaller than traditional soft effects filters) acting as small, but high-quality, planar convex lenses. These hemispheres defocus the light rays producing a slight softening of the image within a very small area of view. The hemispheres are distributed within the filter area in a stochastic pattern, eliminating Moir fringing in the most challenging conditions such as sun lit water surfaces. The filter can be reversed giving a different range of focal points. HD Soft filters soften facial images perfectly even in the harsh conditions encountered when shooting HD and are widely used for shooting close-ups of newsreaders, presenters and similar applications. HD Soft filters are also very useful in other areas. An example is with sunlit rippling water, where detail cannot sometimes be picked up particularly by DV camera chips and distortion occurs. The use of the HD Soft filter ensures that a more detailed yet softened image can be created.
