Why can't I use the lens pen to clean filter and viewfinder? Why not use one pen to do everything?

Cleaning the viewfinder with the regular LensPen would be difficult, if not impossible to fit into the viewfinder window. I have used the regular LensPen to clean filters and it worked fine. The only difference between the regular LensPen and filter LensPen is that the filter LensPen has a flat surface, where as the regular LensPen has a curved surface. The viewfinder LensPen has a very small point and fits perfectly into the viewfinder window.

I read (somewhere) that someone bought the biggest size they had and he just holds it over the lens to take a reading and doesn't snap it into the filter threads. That way he can use it on all of his lenses.

The previous response is correct, you need an adapter to use filters. But if you use the adapter, you can't use a lens hood. The filter/adapter is wider than the lens.

Hi Keith, I do not use filters on my lenses. I do use the lens hoods. After 33 years as a professional photographer I find the filters a bit of a pain.

yes you are right, they are grooves, not threads and hence wont last too long by adding filters and adding another lens is just crazy. but stupid of canon not to have supplied a proper thread for filters on this model.

There is a threaded adapter that screws into the filter threads on the lens. The the filter holder clips onto it

There is a lot of advice online. Try running a piece of paper around the seams of the circular lens parts to clear out dust. Welcome to the disposable society.

the curvature of the glass makes it so you can't use a filter. But there are other wide angle lenses that do allow you touse a filter. My Tokina 11-16mm uses filters.

This was new for me too. I came across this kit when I was searching for a filter kit by Hoya. I recommend that you check out their website hoyafilter.com, they detail what each lens is for. I also googled each lens type to get more info on them. To get the most out of them you should really read the manual for the camera or google "how to's" (not much on youtube), it does some pretty neat things. These lenses are great for playing around with the features! Hope this helps a bit. Oh and fyi, the lenses are stackable if you need multiple effects.

I will answer as soon as possible. I am still waiting for my filters and adapters and LCD covers before I take my camera anywhere to take any photos. I just want to be safe. I scratched the lens and LCD on my last camera when I fell down, so I am trying to be extra careful. I will keep this email so I can remember to answer your question. Have you tried manual though? Going to the highest ISO would probably help with that.

If the dust is on the lens, you can blow it away with a blower, or clean with a lens cleaner. But, here's something to keep in mind. I also noticed a lot of dust when I used this camera. Here's a picture with the example: http://www.flickr.com/photos/blokh/7556804584/sizes/l/in/photostream/ The dust was actually on the sensor and I didn't see it before. So I cleaned up the sensor and it is gone now.

I have a chamois tipped cleaner (optics cleaner), it also has a lite brush on the opposite end, it's made for cleaning optics (binos, scopes, cameras lens). I've also used a lint free cloth to wipe the lens of my cameras, glasses ect.

I don't know about "6 new artistic filters", because when I bought my camera nothing mention about filters. Dealer will you please elaborate.

Probably a reasonable thing to do use a UV filter for haze. With the G10 (like most point and shoots without a lens thread) you will require an extension tube to fit onto the bayonet fitting surrounding the lens. I intend to include a PL filter which will greatly enhance sky and water. In order to replace the camera in its case this fitting will have to be removed each time.I didn't write this - someone else did under my name. Perhaps the whole discussion business is a sham to sell more gear!

Yes you can use it to remove fine dust from the lens, but you may not require all of them, just one brush would do.

You can put a filter on it or you can use the self opening and closing lens cap. You cannot use both at the same time.
