Recording
The camcorder features two ND filter
modes. You can switch between the two
modes using the PRESET/VARIABLE
switch B.
Adjusting in preset mode
Set the PRESET/VARIABLE switch
B to “PRESET,” and switch the ND
FILTER dial A as described below.
CLEAR: No ND filter
1: Density set in CAMERA/PAINT t ND
FILTER t PRESET1.
Default is 1/4.
2: Density set in CAMERA/PAINT t ND
FILTER t PRESET2.
Default is 1/16.
3: Density set in CAMERA/PAINT t ND
FILTER t PRESET3.
Default is 1/64.
Adjusting in variable mode

“ND” position.
2 Set the PRESET/VARIABLE
switch B to “VARIABLE,” and
switch the ND FILTER dial A to
position 1, 2, or 3.
3 Adjust the filter density in the
range 1/4 to 1/128 with the
ND/IRIS dial C.
The ND FILTER dial A 1/2/3 positions
have no effect on the filter density
adjustment.
z Tips
• Can be operated using Direct Menu (p. 61).
• You can assign this function to the ASSIGN dial
(p. 85).
• If you switch ND FILTER dial A during
recording, the image or sound may become
distorted.
• When shooting a bright subject, diffraction (a
common phenomenon in video cameras, caused
by closing the iris too much) may result in poor
focusing. Using the ND FILTER dial A
suppresses this phenomenon for better shooting
images.
