Solar Filter for Olympus SP-550UZ

pinshape

I needed a solar filter for my Olympus SP-550UZ camera, so I created two layers of protection - one at the top and another at the bottom. To ensure extra security, I added two to three vertical layers, each with a height of .4. Unfortunately, I didn't capture any great images during the August eclipse, but that was due to my own shortcomings, not the camera's capabilities. If you're looking for materials, you can find some sticky 2mm foam at your local craft store, which works perfectly as a lining for the inside of the box and helps create a snug fit around the filter and camera. Once installed, the entire setup measures 40mm in diameter.
