Sony DSR-250 User Manual

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.

The ND filter is necessary.
When ND 1 flashes, set the ND FILTER selector to 1 so that the ND 1 indicator on the
LCD or viewfinder screen stops flashing and remains on.
When ND 2 flashes, set the ND FILTER selector to 2 so that the ND 2 indicator on the
LCD or viewfinder screen stops flashing and remains on.

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.

When the DISPLAY switch located on the front of the viewfinder is set to OFF or
turning off the indicators using the DISPLAY button
The ND filter indicator will disappear after you set the ND FILTER selector to the
appropriate position according to the ND filter indication.

When you adjust the iris manually
The selected position is displayed, however, the recommended position of the ND
FILTER selector is not indicated.
