Filter settings
FILTER knob Lighting conditions
1 (Clear) Indoor shooting
2 (1/4 ND) Outdoor (cloudy or rainy) or indoor shooting
when you wish to reduce the depth of field
3 (1/16 ND) Outdoor shooting in daytime
4 (1/64 ND) Outdoor shooting when you wish to reduce the
depth of field, or especially under bright outdoor
ambient light
a) Depth of field: This is the range over which the subject is sharply in
focus. If the range is narrow, the depth of field is called "shallow
focus." If the range is wide, the depth of field is called "deep focus."
From the viewpoint of the characteristics of lenses, shooting
with an F-stop value in the range of F4 to F8 is generally
recommended for good quality pictures. Set the FILTER knob
to bring the iris setting into that range. However, this may not
apply when special composition is desired.
