Air Conditioning Odour

Hey guys, I have been noticing ai conditioning odour when Iturn on the AC initially and then it goes away. Have any of you had this problem?
Is it the AC filter, and does changing it help if so is it DIY job?
Any suggestions on using a deoderizer ?
Thanks

try turning off the ac 2-5 minutes before you shut off the car. could be condensing.

also, if you smoke. dont use the ac while smoking. my ac smelled like dirty socks when i let friends smoke in the car, with ac running. it went away after a day or two
