Adjusting the volume of light
– ND FILTER
You can record the subject clearly by using
the ND filter when the recording
environment is too bright.
There are 2 levels of ND filter setting. ND
filter 1 reduces the volume of light to about
1/6, and ND filter 2 to about 1/32.
If [ND1] or [ND2] flashes in the standby
mode, set the ND FILTER switch to the
respective position.
