Film, as well as video, often exhibits a greater sensitivity to what is to us invisible, ultraviolet light. This is most often outdoors, especially at high altitudes, where the UV-absorbing atmosphere is thinner; and over long distances, such as marine scenes. It can show up as a bluish color cast with color film, or it can cause a low-contrast haze that diminishes details, especially when viewing far-away objects, in either color or black-and-white. Ultraviolet filters absorb UV light generally without affecting light in the visible region. It is important to distinguish between UV-generated haze and that of air-borne particles, such as smog. The latter is made up of opaque matter that absorbs visible light as well as UV, and will not be appreciably removed by a UV filter.The UV Protector shields lens from dust, moisture, scratches, and breakage.Protects lenses from dust, moisture, scratches, and other damage. This filter can be kept on the camera at all times.

A Blu ray disk has the same physical attributes as a standard DVD. The Blu ray disk has taken the optical disc technology to a higher level as it is mainly used for high-definition data and video storage. Another dissimilarity between a DVD and a Blu ray disk is that a DVD uses a red laser, whereas the Blu ray disk uses a blue laser. The name ‘Blu ray’ was a result of the laser color that was used in the disk.

The Blu ray disk was developed by the Blu ray disk association; a group consisting of some of the highly known names in the consumer electronic trade. Some of them include renowned names such as Sony, Hitachi, Philips, Samsung, Panasonic, Hewlett Packard (HP), etc. The format in a Blu ray disk enables recording, rewriting and the playback of high definition video.

Compared to a DVD, the biggest advantage a Blu ray disk has is the high storage capacity. The storage capacity of a single layer Blu disk is 25GB and the dual-layer Blu ray disk can do up to 50GB. It also has advanced audio and video codes, therefore a person can have the ultimate high-definition video viewing experience.

A Blu ray disk, also known as a BD has storage capacity around five times higher than a traditional DVD. A Blu ray disk can store around 9 hours of high-definition video and 23 hours of standard-definition video on a 50GB disk. Another advantage of the Blu ray disk is that the blue-violet laser in it has a shorter wavelength, hence enabling it to focus on a disc area with greater precision. Although the looks of a CD and a Blu ray disk may seem the same, the storage capacities differ a lot.

The major disadvantage is that sometimes standard DVD players are unable to recognize the format in these disks. Luckily this problem is being rectified by many consumer electronic manufacturers making sure they release backward compatible players. Many of the CD’s and DVD’s can be used in a player which is compatible with Blu ray disks and DVD’s.
