Placing Filter at the Top of the
Darkroom
Darkroom Filter Setup
1. Ensure that the darkroom is in a fixed and permanent
location as filters may slide in movement.
2. Locate the filter wheel in the darkroom’s camera well at
the top of the darkroom, accessible when the camera and
lens are removed.
3. Using your fingers, manually rotate the filter wheel to the
appropriate filter location. Each filter location in the
darkroom is numbered for a corresponding filter. By
touching the sides of the filter only, insert the filter into the
proper location (the numbers/letters on the side of the filter
should face right side up).
