When adjusting the IRIS (aperture) automatically
When the ND filter indicator flashes, change the ND FILTER switch position setting
accordingly. The ND filter indicator will be lit solid.
Hint
If you set the IRIS (aperture) too narrow to record a bright object, diffraction phenomenon
may prevent you from focusing on the object. (Diffraction is a normal phenomenon on any
video camera.) Using the ND filter allows you to suppress this phenomenon and obtain a
better recording result.
Note
If you change the ND filter setting during recording, the movie and sound may be distorted.
While adjusting the IRIS (aperture) manually, the ND filter icon will not flash even when the
ND filter setting needs adjusting.
