ND Filter

At default settings, the camcorder’s ND filter is activated automatically depending on the aperture value. The ND filter is first activated when you close down the aperture to F4.0 ([ND 1/2] will appear on the screen). As you close down the aperture further, the ND filter will change to [ND 1/4] and then to [ND 1/8] for aperture values above F4.4.

If you prefer not to use the ND filter, you can turn it off with the following procedure.

The Exposure Bar

When the gain and aperture are both set to manual mode and the shutter speed is set to a mode other than auto, the exposure bar will appear, giving you an indication of the current exposure. The Îon top of the exposure bar indicates optimal exposure without any shift (AE±0) and the indicator inside the exposure bar represents the current exposure.

Optimal exposure AE±0

Current exposure

When the difference between current and optimal exposure is larger than ±2 EV, the indicator will flash at the edge of the exposure bar.
