The effect of the Cine Mist Filter reacts to light due to the inclusion of scattering particles within the glass. These particles enhance highlights and diffuse light, reducing the contrast between light and shadow subtly.
The images show measurements of STC Cine Mist Filter 1/4 and 1/8 filters under 10x magnification, using colored light for imaging within a 1280μm square frame. The green tint visible in the images is not inherent to the glass but a result of the imaging process.
As the filter value increases (1/2 > 1/4 > 1/8), the number of scattering particles per unit area also increases. This results in a stronger reaction to the same amount of incident light. However, the photographic effects do not scale proportionally with these values and cannot be calculated as simple multiples.
The usage scenarios are not limited to portrait creation. When used in landscapes and in environments with direct light, Cine Mist filter can be brought into play. Especially when using under diffusing light and overflow lights, it can bring richer light to the picture. It also reduces excessive digital sharpness of ultra-high resolution camera or lenses without losing detail.

Under the same ambient light, with fixed exposure settings,photograph using STC CineMist filters of varying softness.
This four photos allow for comparing and discerning changes in direct light, reflected light, and diffused light within the scene.
There is only one direct light source change in the environment, the photo exposure setting is also fixed.
When shooting with the STC CineMist filter of the same softness, changes in light will also directly affect the degree of light expansion and softening.
Therefore, choosing the softness of the STC CineMist filter must actually be based on the overall light source and state of the light!
