Soft Focus Filter
The Ovation Réve E-3 comes with a soft focus filter. To keep the soft focus filter in good condition:

• When inserting shutter blades into the light path, note that the heat is reflected back at the filter. The deeper the blades are inserted, and the longer the fixture runs, the more heat gets reflected on to the filter, causing it to warp and potentially adhere to the shutter blades.

NOTE
If there is a protective film on the soft-focus filter, it must be removed before use. The filter is in a holder in the metal gobo slot.
