Product Information

Full details

This Kase Sony Alpha Clip-In Filter ND1000 is designed for Sony Alpha camera users who want to achieve extreme long exposure photography or require precise control over depth of field and motion blur in bright conditions. Its primary benefit is enabling creative effects that are otherwise impossible, while also serving as a protective shield for your camera's sensor when lenses are changed. A potential caveat is the need for careful handling due to its placement inside the camera body.

FAQs

Can I use this filter with any Sony Alpha camera?

This filter is designed for Sony Alpha camera bodies that feature an internal clip-in filter mechanism. Please verify your specific camera model's compatibility.

How does this filter protect my sensor?

When you remove your lens to change it, the clip-in filter remains in place, acting as a physical barrier that shields the delicate image sensor from dust and accidental contact.

Will this filter affect autofocus performance?

The clip-in filter is placed in front of the sensor and does not directly interfere with the autofocus system. However, extreme ND filters can sometimes make it harder for AF systems to lock on in low light. You may need to manually focus or use the AF system in brighter conditions.

How do I clean the filter?

Use a soft blower to remove loose dust. For smudges, use a dedicated lens cleaning cloth. Avoid using any liquids or chemicals.

What is the purpose of the ND1000 rating?

ND1000 means the filter reduces the light entering the camera by 1000 times, which translates to 10 stops of light reduction. This allows for much longer shutter speeds in daylight.

Can I stack this filter with other filters?

No, this is an internal clip-in filter and cannot be stacked with other filters. It is designed to be the sole filter in its position.

What is the included removal tool for?

The removal tool is specifically designed to safely and easily extract the clip-in filter from the camera body without causing damage.

Troubleshooting

Filter not recognized by camera

Ensure the filter is correctly and fully seated in the clip-in slot. Power cycle your camera.

Camera displays "No memory card" or other errors

Double-check that the filter is not obstructing any internal camera contacts. Power off the camera and reseat the filter.

Image appears hazy or has reduced sharpness

Ensure the filter's optical surface is clean. Use a blower or micro-fiber cloth specifically for lenses. Verify the filter is correctly installed and not smudged.

Light leaks visible in images

Confirm the matte black shading fabric is properly installed around the filter and that the filter is securely clipped in place. Ensure the camera's internal seals are intact.
