Shooting with manual adjustment

Using the ND filter

Using the ND filter (the ND filter 1 setting corresponds to 1/4 of the quantity of light and the ND filter 2 setting corresponds to 1/32 of the quantity of light), you can record a picture clearly by adjusting light amounts, even if you shoot under too bright conditions.

When the ND1 or ND2 indicator flashes on the LCD screen or in the viewfinder

The ND filter is necessary.

When ND 1 flashes, set the ND FILTER selector to 1 so that the ND 1 indicator disappears from the LCD or viewfinder screen.

When ND 2 flashes, set the ND FILTER selector to 2 so that the ND 2 indicator disappears from the LCD or viewfinder screen.

When ND OFF flashes on the LCD screen or in the viewfinder

The ND filter is not necessary. Set the ND FILTER selector to OFF so that the indicator disappears from the LCD or viewfinder screen.

The ND filter is now deactivated.

Notes

•If you set the ND FILTER selector to another positions during recording, the picture may be blurred or audio noise may occur. We recommend that you check the position of the ND FILTER selector before shooting.

•When shooting a too bright object, diffraction off the small aperture may cause slight off set in focusing. This phenomenon is quite common with a use of a video camera recorder. Using the ND filter will reduce influence of such phenomenon, and you can attain a better shooting condition.

If you use the video flash light (not supplied)

Set the ND FILTER selector to OFF when you use the flash.
