Is it possible to get a lens filter that works for my GE x500?




TurtleTech


Got this camera recently after seening phenomenal picture quality (and the design, which is great). Can I get a lens filter for this? What about an adaptor?


Answer
Did the camera come with a lens cap?

Just looking at the camera, I cannot see any filter threads on the lens, nor when the lens is withdrawn into the lens barrel when not in use is there enough extended lens to hold any kind of adapter.

Unless the user menu lists some filters as accessories, then probably not.

Usually one needs tp spend somewhat in the range of $300 before cameras have such features

which one should i choose? camera lens or filter?

Answer
Please don't go shopping just yet. You need to first learn the basics..... the VERY basics - starting with the difference between lenses and filters.

A lens is the bit you can NOT do without. They come in different focal lengths, different qualities and different "speeds" (i.e. the maximum possible aperture).

Filters are extras that screw onto the end of your lens. You don't HAVE to have any filters, although some are nice to have.

So, before you go shopping, start here:

Learn about your camera !!!!

Read your manual !!!! Read it several times, and practice in between.

Attend a class, read some books, read/watch online tutorials.

The major camera manufacturers (like Canon, Nikon, Olympus etc) all have very useful sections on their website for learning about photography.

Understanding at least the basic principles of photography (as well as being familiar with your camera) will enable you to make the most of your gear, and will make a HUGE difference to your images.
