Switches between four ND filters built into this
camcorder.
When this selector is used, the new setting
appears on the viewfinder screen for about three

You can change a Maintenance menu setting so
that different white balance settings can be stored
for different FILTER knob positions. This allows
you to automatically obtain optimum white
balance for the current shooting conditions in
linkage with the filter selection.
