About the ND Filter

In conditions where the lighting is too bright, you can set the appropriate brightness by changing the ND filter.

When shooting a brightly lit subject, closing the iris too much may cause diffraction blur, producing an image starting to go out of focus (typical phenomena in cameras). You can suppress this effect to obtain better shooting results using the ND filter.

The unit features the following ND filter modes.

Preset mode

  • See “Adjusting in Preset Mode.”

Variable mode (automatic adjustment)

  • See “Adjusting Automatically in Variable Mode.”

Variable mode (manual adjustment)

  • See “Adjusting Manually in Variable Mode.”
