Using the ND filter | Sony DSR-200 specification

Using the ND filter

The digital camcorder automatically senses the need for the ND filter, in such a case, ND ON/OFF flashes in the display.

Using the ND filter (to filter down to one-tenth the quantity of light), you can prevent the picture from going out of focus under bright conditions.

When ND ON flashes in the viewfinder

Set ND FILTER to ON [a].

The flashing indicator disappears, and the ND indicator remains.

When ND OFF flashes in the viewfinder

Set ND FILTER to OFF [b].

The indicator disappears.
