Image for Ultraviolet filter

Ultraviolet filter

An ultraviolet (UV) filter is a transparent glass or plastic cover placed over a camera lens. It blocks ultraviolet light, which is invisible to the human eye but can cause a hazy or bluish tint in photos, especially in outdoor conditions. By reducing this UV radiation, the filter helps improve image clarity and sharpness. Additionally, it protects the camera lens from scratches, dust, and minor impacts, serving as a safeguard without affecting the quality of your images.
