Camera Exposure and the 60/40 Glass

After setting up the camera with the 60/40 glass in front of the lens adjust the camera set up and white balance. This is because the 60/40 Glass affects the camera exposure by approximately 1 stop almost like the effect of a neutral density filter. Consult your camera manual for further help and advice with its exposure and white balance settings.

Using the Riser Blocks

When using this TP-300 Prompter Kit you may need to use one or both riser blocks to raise the camera up so that the camera lens is positioned vertically as near to the middle of the 60/40 Glass as possible.
Two sets of screws are supplied for use with these riser blocks. The longer screws are for use with two blocks and the shorter screws when using only one block.
In some cases the blocks are not required at all.
