Want to know what a uv mirror is?

Ultraviolet filter.

UV is the abbreviation of the English word Ultraviolet, which means ultraviolet. UV mirror can filter out ultraviolet rays in the sun, so it is also called ultraviolet filter.

A UV mirror is actually an ultraviolet filter. Because too much ultraviolet rays will affect the imaging quality, it is one of the essential items for traditional photographers.

Uv mirror is suitable for shooting in seaside, mountains, snowfields and open areas, which can weaken the blue tone caused by ultraviolet light. At the same time, for digital cameras, it can also eliminate the interference of ultraviolet rays on CCD, which is helpful to improve the definition and the effect of color reproduction.

strong function

The main function of UV mirror is to absorb ultraviolet rays with wavelength below 400 nm, and it has no filtering effect on other visible/invisible rays. Ultraviolet rays can be filtered because the lens contains lead, so the ultraviolet lens is heavier than other lenses of the same size and thickness. At the same time, the UV mirror can prevent the coating on the lens surface from directly contacting with the external environment, thus playing a protective role.
