Using the ND Filter

Using the ND Filter

Using the ND filters allows you keep the aperture within an appropriate 
range when recording in bright surroundings*.

* When recording in bright surroundings, the camcorder closes down the aperture. 

This may cause the picture to appear blurred depending on the zoom position. 
Using the ND filter or setting a faster shutter speed can reduce such blur.

Set the ND FILTER switch to the desired setting.

• The filter setting appears on the left side of the screen.

NOTES

• During automatic aperture control (0 69), the ND filter warning will 

appear if the current setting is not appropriate. Perform the action 
described in the following table.

• Depending on the scene, the color may change when turning the ND 

filter on/off. Setting a custom white balance (0 75) may be effective in 
such case.
