ND filters!
I film most of my work, at the moment, in bright sunshine and keep getting the signal to attached an external ND filter. Which filter will I need: x2, x4, etc!
Thanks! |

ok .. have you actually "used" the built in ND filter yet? Button for this is located - looking from behind camera - high on the left hand side, next/alongside to the Manual Focus button . This will invoke the built in 0.9ND. But are you asking for FURTHER NDs? Beyond the camera's one?
Grazie |

After I've used the internal ND filter I still get a 'on' indicating to fit an external ND filter! Yes I'm asking for more ND filters to fit onto the 58mm thread.

The built-in filter should be more than enough (unless you want to use further filtration to allow a wider aperture and thus shallower depth of field). If the image is too bright, close down your iris or speed up your shutter. |

Thanks Jarrod - Yup, "Speed Up" the shutter speed. I didn't make it clear enough.

Raymond,
If you have the built-in ND engaged and you are still overexposed (it must be very bright out), you can add a 58mm ND filter. Which one? It depends on how wide you want the iris to open (if you're going for shallow DOF), or how bright it is in any given circumstances. I recommend having a .3, .6, and .9 around at all times, to adjust to any given circumstance. You can combine them if you need more power. However, since you have a built-in .9, the .3 and .6 should give you all the flexibility you need. Josh

i find this to on some sunny days in england, that its not possible to get a decent exposure. ND2 is a very subtle filter, so you will need to gauge how much you need.

What I will also add is that it was when I started to use extra ND filters that this remarkable camera gave me things I never knew it could produce. This camera LOVES bright sunlight - but always wear protection!!
