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. The ND filter can be set when the aperture value is F4.0.
This function can only be used when the shooting mode is set to ', ‚, " or n.

Using the Zebra Pattern

You can use the zebra pattern to identify areas that might be overexposed, so you can correct the
exposure appropriately. The camcorder offers two levels of zebra pattern: With 100% only areas that
will lose detail in the highlight areas will be identified, while 70% will identify also areas that are
dangerously close to losing detail.
