Using The Nd Filter - Canon XH A1 Instruction Manual

Using the ND Filter

When recording in bright surroundings, the camcorder will set a small aperture value and the picture
may appear blurred. Turn the ND filter on/off according to the screen display.
When using a recording program other than M Manual and if the AGC switch is set to ON, the following
displays appear:
Screen display

"ND " flashes ND filter required
ND " " flashes Higher density or external ND filter

ND " " flashes Built-in ND filter not required
"ND" flashes in red Built-in ND filter incorrect setting
* If you have no external ND filter available, use the Tv mode and set a high shutter speed, or use the Av mode and set a
small aperture value.
Depending on the scene, the color may change when turning the ND filter on/off. In such case, setting
a custom white balance may be effective (
