No, definitely not! Don't ever use a UV filter to view a solar eclipse. You will go blind. Your camera will be destroyed. You must use a solar filter made of either aluminized mylar or glass coated with stainless steel. The reflection must be 99%. Go to an astronomy website such as www.telescope.com and select a solar filter of the correct diameter for your device.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No. This filter reduces UV radiation somewhat and visible light hardly at all. If you want to photograph an eclipse, better to use a hefty neutral density filter--perhaps a variable one--that can reduce the light the camera sees by many stops, say 15 stops. You can find online tutorials for photographing solar eclipses. Don't view the sun through your camera viewfinder; it might damage your eye. And be sure to use eclipse glasses for your own viewing.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Only for the few precious moments of totality of a TOTAL, A TOTAL, not partial or annular solar eclipse. And then be so very careful. To be on the safe side, get yourself the appropriate approved filtered eyewear.
