G'day everyone, I am picking up a filter adapter for my G12 tonight and I have a question about the filters. ; Specifically, I am trying to decide between Linear or Circular for my G12. ; So far what I have gathered from the web is that for the G12 a linear will serve me just fine and that you only really need a circular if you have an SLR to avoid messing with the auto focus. ; They are also suggesting that a circular will decrease the amount of light getting through by another noticeable notch. This the truth and the whole truth?
Polarizers do lower the amount of light entering the camera, resulting in slower shutter speeds. ; Circ polarizers work to deepen color saturation and reduce glare on non -metallic objects such as glass and water. ; They work best at 90 degrees to the sun. ; Go circular. ; They have no effect on focusing. ; Just beware of slightly slower shutter speeds 1-1.5 stops +/- ;
