FAQs
How do I attach the filter to my phone?
The filter uses a clip-on mechanism. Simply open the clip, position it over your phone's camera lens, and gently press to secure it. Ensure it is stable before taking photos or videos.
Will this filter work with my phone case?
The filter is designed for 98% smartphone compatibility, including use with many cases. However, very thick or uniquely shaped cases might affect the fit. It is best to test the fit with your specific case.
What is the main benefit of the polarised lens?
The polarised lens significantly reduces glare and reflections from surfaces like water, enhancing color saturation and clarity in your photos and videos. This is particularly useful for underwater photography and videography.
How do I clean the filter?
Use a soft, dry microfiber cloth to gently wipe the lens. Avoid using abrasive materials or harsh chemicals, which can damage the lens coating.
Is this filter suitable for general photography, not just fishing?
While optimized for aquatic use, the polarisation effect can enhance general photography by reducing reflections and improving contrast, especially in bright conditions or near reflective surfaces.
What does 'FilmDeeper' mean?
'FilmDeeper' refers to the advanced optical performance of the filter, specifically designed to achieve greater clarity and detail when filming underwater subjects.
Does the filter come with a protective case?
Yes, each Fortis Polarised Phone Filter comes with a protective lens cap to safeguard the filter when it's not in use.
Troubleshooting
Filter is not aligning correctly with the camera lens.
Reposition the clip on your phone. Ensure it is centered over the primary camera lens. If using a case, try removing it or adjusting the clip's position to accommodate the case.
Image quality is not improved or glare is still present.
Rotate the filter slightly. Polarised filters have an optimal angle for glare reduction. Adjust the filter on the clip until the desired effect is achieved. Ensure the clip is securely fastened.
Clip is loose or won't stay attached.
Check the clip for any debris or obstructions. Ensure the phone's edge where the clip attaches is clean and smooth. If the clip mechanism is damaged, contact customer support.
The filter is scratched.
Avoid placing the filter on rough surfaces. Always store the filter in its protective cap. Minor scratches may impact image quality; consider replacing the filter if significantly damaged.
