Using the ND Filter
Recording
Using the ND filters allows you keep the aperture within an appropriate
range when recording in bright surroundings*.
* When recording in bright surroundings, the camcorder closes down the aperture.
This may cause the picture to appear blurred depending on the zoom position.
Using the ND filter or setting a faster shutter speed can reduce such blur.
Operating modes:
Set the ND FILTER switch to the desired setting.
• The filter setting appears on the left side of the screen.
