When to Use a Polarizer Camera Lens?
A polarizing camera filter is a special attachment put on the end of the lens that affects the way light hits the camera sensor. A polarizing camera lens filter is made of two slices of glass, one that rotates and the other that doesn’t. There are two types of polarizing filters: circular and linear. Linear polarizing lenses work best with manual focus cameras, while circular lenses are preferred for auto focus cameras. A polarizing camera lens filter has three main effects: to saturate colors, to reduce reflection, and to limit light.
