ND Filter

ND Filter

 

Using the ND filters allows you keep the aperture within an appropriate

 

range when recording in bright surroundings*.

* Closing down the aperture when recording under bright conditions may cause the

picture to appear soft or out of focus. To avoid the loss of sharpness due to diffraction, use a denser ND filter or a faster shutter speed (A58).

Operating modes:

Using the ND Filter

Press the ND FILTER + or - button to select the desired ND filter setting.

Repeatedly pressing ND FILTER + button will change the ND filter setting in the following order: [ND1 2 stops]  [ND2 4 stops]  [ND3 6 stops]  ND filter off. (The ND FILTER - button cycles through the settings in reverse order.)

Remote Operation Using Wi-Fi Remote

After completing the necessary preparations (A47) you can adjust the ND filter remotely from a Wi-Fi-enabled device using the Wi-Fi Remote application.

Press [ND +] or [ND -] on the Wi-Fi Remote screen.

The function is identical to that of the ND FILTER + and - buttons on the camcorder.

The selected ND filter setting will be displayed on the Wi-Fi Remote screen and will be applied on the camcorder.

NOTES

Depending on the scene, the color may change when turning the ND filter on/off. Setting a custom white balance (A66) may be effective in such case.
