Astronomik OWB Clip-Filter

When you modify a camera by removing the internal IR-cut filter, the sensor becomes overly sensitive to infrared light, which ruins color balance for daylight photography. The OWB (Original White Balance) filter restores the spectral sensitivity to its original state, allowing the camera to capture natural colors again.

No, this filter is specifically engineered for cameras that have already had their internal filters removed. Using it on an unmodified camera will result in incorrect color rendering and poor image quality.

The filter sits inside the camera body, directly in front of the sensor. Because it is a clip-in design, it is compatible with most Canon EF-M lenses, but you should verify that your specific lens does not protrude too far into the mirror box, as it could physically contact the filter.

Once the filter is installed, your camera will be able to perform automatic white balance as it did before the modification. You should be able to shoot in standard modes without needing to manually adjust your white balance settings for every shot.

Yes, it is designed for dual use. It allows you to use your modified camera for everyday photography with accurate colors, while still allowing you to remove the filter quickly when you want to capture deep-sky objects that require the full spectral range of your modified sensor.
