ND Filter
ND Filter
Using the ND filter allows you to open up the aperture to
obtain a shallower depth of field even when recording in
bright surroundings. You can also use the ND filter to avoid
the soft focus caused by diffraction when using small
apertures. By default, you can select one of 3 density levels
(2 to 6 stops) and, if you enable the extended ND range,
you can select one of 5 density levels (2 to 10 stops).
You can also perform this function remotely using Browser
Remote on a connected network device (
A

NOTES NOTES
• If you set an assignable button to [ND +] or [ND –] (
A
125), you can press the button to change the ND filter
setting.
• Depending on the scene, the color may change when turning the ND filter on/off. Setting a custom white
balance (
A
77) may be effective in such case.
• About the extended ND range: When you switch to or from a density level in the extended range (8 or 10 stops),
you may notice one or both of the following circumstances.
- The focus may shift, affecting also the indication on the lens’s focus distance scale.
- Depending on the lens, the camera may not be able to focus at infinity focus.
• About changing the ND filter setting using the optional RC-V100 Remote Controller:
- When the remote controller is connected to the camera, you can use the remote controller’s ND button in
the same way as the camera’s ND button.
- For settings between 2 and 8 stops, the corresponding ND filter indicator (1 to 4, respectively) will illuminate
in orange. When the ND filter is set to 10 stops, indicators 1 and 4 will both illuminate.
