Overview

Reduces the amount of light that reaches the film/light sensor

Description

Neutral Density filters appear grey and reduce the amount of light reaching the film/light sensor. They have no effect on color balance. Determining which neutral density filter yields ideal results for any given lighting situation takes knowledge, experience and a collection of such filters. Speaking generally, the 2-stop value (ND 0.6) effectively compensates average situations.

ND filters have four main uses:

  • To enable slow shutter speeds to be used, especially with high speed films, to record movement in subjects such as waterfalls, clouds, or cars.
  • To decrease depth of field by allowing wider apertures to be used, which helps separate subjects from their background.
  • To decrease the effective ISO of high speed film (above ISO 400) and allow it to be used outdoors in bright situations.
  • To allow cine and video cameras(which have fixed shutter speeds) to film subjects such as snow, sand or other bright scenes which could cause overexposure.

Note: Neutral Density filters are available in grades 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 and 8 stops to suit individual needs.

ND filters come in many strengths or different levels of densities for fine tuning exposures as well as various rates of transition:

  • ND2 reduces amount of light to 50%
  • ND4 reduces amount of light to 25%
  • ND8 reduces amount of light to 12.5%

in other words:

  • ND-2 absorbs 1 F-stop of light.
  • ND-4 absorbs 2 F-stops of light.
  • ND-8 absorbs 3 F-stops of light.
