Nd Filter - Canon EOS C300 Mark II Instruction Manual

ND Filter

Using the ND filter allows you to open up the aperture to obtain a
shallower depth of field even when recording in bright surroundings. You
can also use the ND filter to avoid the soft focus caused by diffraction
when using small apertures. By default, you can select one of 3 density
levels (2 to 6 stops) and, if you enable the extended ND range, you can
select one of 5 density levels (2 to 10 stops).
You can also perform this function remotely using Browser Remote on a
connected Wi-Fi device (A 120, 124).

you may notice one or both of the following circumstances.
- The focus may shift, affecting also the indication on the lens's focus distance scale.
- Depending on the lens, the camera may not be able to focus at infinity focus.
• About changing the ND filter setting using the optional RC-V100 Remote Controller:
- When the remote controller is connected to the camera, you can use the remote controller's ND button in
the same way as the camera's ND FILTER + button.
- For settings between 2 and 8 stops, the corresponding ND filter indicator (1 to 4, respectively) will illuminate
in orange. When the ND filter is set to 10 stops, indicators 1 and 4 will both illuminate.
