Built-in ND Filter
When the camera's built-in ND filter is used, the amount of light that enters the
camera can be reduced to about one-eighth (equivalent to three steps lower in terms
of the exposure value) while shooting. Use in situations such as when overexposure
results from the subject being too bright.
When On is selected, the icon is displayed on the monitor (
A8).

Effects of the Built-in ND Filter
Using the filter may enable the shooting of subjects that are too bright without overexposing the
image. It can also be used in situations such as when you want to slow down the shutter speed at a
small aperture value.
For example, at a shutter speed of 1/2000 second with the correct exposure, if the ND filter is used to
reduce the light in three steps, the speed can be changed to 1/250 second without changing the
aperture value.
