Effects of the Built-in ND Filter
Using the filter may enable the shooting of su_ects that are too bright without overexposing the
image, It can also be used in situations such as when you want to slow down the shutter speed at a
low aperture value,
For exam pie, at a shutter speed of 1/2000 second with the correct exposure, if the ND filter is used to
reduce the light in three steps, the speed can be changed to 1/250 second without changing the
aperture value.
