Re: Filtration Experiments

It's not clear whether you're talking about polarizing filters not working or colour filters not working. And if polarizing, straight or circular.

Are ND filters not working ? If you put a strong ND filter on the lens, with the metering mode set to A, and fixed ISO setting, the shutter speed should change. Does it ?

If you put a polarizing filter on the lens, and rotate it while watching the image (on the LCD or EVF) of a reflection in water,  the reflection should come and go. Does it ?

If you put a red filter on the lens, you should get a red image. Likewise for other colours.  If you have Auto White Balance set, the effect will be reduced. Set White Balance to Daylight/Sunlight for these experiments.
