ND Filter ND Filter Using the ND filters allows you keep the aperture within an appropriate range when recording in bright surroundings*. * Closing down the aperture when recording under bright conditions may cause the 73 picture to appear soft or out of focus. To avoid the loss of sharpness due to diffraction, use a denser ND filter or a faster shutter speed (A 67). Operating modes: Using the ND Filter Press the ND FILTER + or - button to select the desired ND filter setting. • Repeatedly pressing ND FILTER + button will change the ND filter setting in the following order: [ND1 2 stops]  [ND2 4 stops]  [ND3 6 stops]  ND filter off. (The ND FILTER - button cycles through the settings in reverse order.) Remote Operation Using Wi-Fi Remote After completing the necessary preparations (A 50) you can adjust the ND filter remotely from a Wi-Fi-enabled device using the Wi-Fi Remote application. Press [ND +] or [ND -] on the Wi-Fi Remote screen. • The function is identical to that of the ND FILTER + and - buttons on the camera. • The selected ND filter setting will be displayed on the Wi-Fi Remote screen and will be applied on the camera. NOTES • Depending on the scene, the color may change when turning the ND filter on/off. Setting a custom white balance (A 76) may be effective in such case. • If you set an assignable button to [ND -] or [ND +] (A 111), you can press the button to adjust the ND filter. • When an optional RC-V100 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.
