bNote

•If you move the ND FILTER switch during recording, the picture and sound may be distorted.

•If you adjust the iris manually, no ND filter indicator will appear even if the ND filter should be activated.

zTip

•If you close the iris extensively when recording a bright subject, diffraction may occur, resulting in a fuzzy focus. (This is a common phenomenon with video cameras.) The ND filter suppresses this phenomenon and gives better recording results.
