Using The Nd Filter - Canon XF300 Instruction Manual

Using the ND Filter

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.
