Want to be ready for any lighting condition without adding weight to your kit? Our clip filter is a natural fit. STC has engineered a clip filter that fits perfectly for the Sony A74, ZV-E1.
STC's patented clip filters are designed to eliminate common problems found with other clip filter manufacturers, specifically, color shift around the edges of the frame when using wide-angle lenses. See the difference!
Our patented inlay design has been upgraded so that you can quickly swap out the right filter as your shooting conditions change.

Installation Instructions
Due to inconsistent QC standards across camera production lines, even within the same brand and model, slight molding residues and dimensional tolerances may occur — particularly with the A74 model, which has greater internal tolerance variations.
Starting immediately, we will provide an extra set of adhesive shims in 0.5mm and 1.3mm thickness. If you experience a loose fit, please first try applying the 0.5mm shim to the original mounting position. If the fit is still loose, remove both shims and replace them with a single 1.3mm shim.
If the product cannot be installed without changing the shim thickness, please contact STC customer service or our headquarters to confirm whether the purchased model is correct. Do not force installation or use.
Disclaimer
STC’s Clip-in filters are innovative and rely on the camera’s internal structure for stability. Minor marks from installation may occur but do not affect camera functionality or warranty. STC will not cover these marks or offer compensation. Please consider this before purchasing if reselling your camera is a concern.
All our filters use STC’s exclusive nanocoating technology for the best optical quality. Our Laser Shielding , Sensor Protector, Stat Mist, Cine Mist, Neutral Density (ND), Astro (light pollution) series, IR-Pass (590nm/720nm/850nm) and UV-IR cut filters all carry a double-sided hydrophobic, anti-smudge and antistatic nanocoating to enhance or block transmission in all kinds of particular spectrums.
The STC CineMist Filter features special etching on the lens surface, causing light to undergo subtle changes that soften the image without sacrificing detail and contrast. Commonly used in the Hollywood film industry, it softens landscape and still life photography, creating a vintage lens-like atmosphere.
Primarily used in portrait photography and videography to express dreamy beauty, psychedelic rock aesthetics, or nostalgic storytelling atmospheres. It also optimizes image texture for scenes such as Vlog interviews, personal videos, and commercial livestreams. Using the CineMist Filter offers a "what you see is what you get" effect, directly and physically optimizing the image to reduce post-production workload. It addresses skin blemishes and imperfections early in the process while maintaining clarity in the eyes, hair, and facial contours. At the same time, it gently diffuses bright reflections in areas such as backlit backgrounds, street lamps, neon LED lights, and other highlights. This subtle softening effect gives the overall image a sensual, atmospheric quality. When paired with flash photography, it softens the light, creating a gentle lighting effect.

With the camera sensor facing upward, you can install the clip filter by hand or using our magnetic screwdriver tool (included) directly into the camera body in front of the shutter curtain. Screw on the lens and you can start shooting without any additional settings needed—simply shoot as you normally would. The clip filter does not touch the sensor and also serves as dust protection. When changing lenses in environments with sand, dust, or debris, it prevents foreign particles from entering and reduces the risk of scratching the sensor during cleaning.
STC interchangeable clip filters are made of high-quality aerospace-grade aluminum alloy. The all-metal anodized frame with chamfered edges effectively prevents scratching the camera body. The patented glass inlay design reduces stress or thermal expansion-induced changes in glass flatness, thereby preventing issues with telephoto imaging.
Usage scenarios are not limited to portrait creation. When used in landscape photography and environments with direct lighting, the CineMist filter can fully demonstrate its characteristics. Especially when working with diffused light and light overflow, it brings richer light effects to the image. It also reduces the excessive digital sharpness of ultra-high-resolution cameras or lenses without losing detail.

Under the same lighting conditions with fixed exposure settings, photographs were taken using STC clip-in CineMist filters of varying softness levels.
These four photos allow for comparing and discerning changes in direct light sources, reflected light, and diffused light within the scene.
Only one direct light source in the environment has changed, while the ambient and backlighting remain constant. The exposure settings are also fixed.
When shooting with the same softness level of STC clip-in CineMist filter, the intensity of the direct light source will also affect the degree of light diffusion and softening.
Therefore, there is no absolute result when using CineMist filters—you must choose based on the overall light sources of different origins and states!
