Nd Filter; Exposure Compensation - Ae Shift - Canon XF205 Instruction Manual

ND Filter

At default settings, the camcorder's ND filter is activated automatically depending on the aperture value. The ND
filter is first activated when you close down the aperture to F4.0 ([ND 1/2] will appear on the screen). As you
close down the aperture further, the ND filter will change to [ND 1/4] and then to [ND 1/8] for aperture values
above F4.4.
If you prefer not to use the ND filter, you can turn it off with the following procedure.
1 Open the [ND Filter] submenu.
[~ Camera Setup] > [ND Filter]
2 Select [Off] and then press SET.
Remote Operation Using Browser Remote
After completing the necessary preparations (A 182), you can change
the ND filter mode remotely from a connected device using the Browser
Remote application.
1 Press [ND Off] on the Browser Remote screen to turn off the ND
filter.
2 Press [ND Auto] to return the camcorder to automatic ND filter mode.

Exposure Compensation - AE Shift

Use AE shift to compensate the exposure that was set using automatic aperture, in order to darken or lighten the
image. You can select from 17 available AE shift levels.
AE shift is not available when the camcorder is set to full auto mode (A 49).
1 Open the [AE Shift] submenu.
[~ Camera Setup] > [AE Shift]
2 Select an AE shift level and then press SET.
• The selected AE shift level will be displayed above the exposure bar
and the camcorder will attempt to adjust the exposure accordingly.
Available AE Shift Levels
+2.0 +1.75 +1.5 +1.25
-0.25 -0.5 -0.75 -1.0
The Exposure Bar
When the gain and aperture are both set to manual mode and the shutter speed
is set to a mode other than auto, the exposure bar will appear, giving you an
indication of the current exposure. The Î on top of the exposure bar indicates
optimal exposure without any shift (AE±0) and the indicator inside the exposure
bar represents the current exposure.
When the difference between current and optimal exposure is larger than ±2 EV,
the indicator will flash at the edge of the exposure bar.
