ND Filter
Using the ND filter allows you to open up the aperture to obtain a shallower depth of field even when
shooting in bright surroundings. You can also use the ND filter to avoid the soft focus caused by
diffraction when using small apertures.
1 Set the camera mode to [Manual] (

NOTES
• Depending on the scene, the color may change when turning the ND filter on/off. Setting a custom
white balance (
