I'm not sure how your camera operates, but for dSLRs it's important when buying polarising filters to get a circular polariser rather than a linear one. This has nothing to do with the shape of the filter, but with the way it deals with polarised light. A linear polariser will have a marked effect on the ability of the camera to give correct exposure because of the semi silvered mirror on the dSLR which directs light toward the sensor. If you buy a circ pol you will be assured that it will not affect your exposure.
