Thomas Burns Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 Does anyone know the strength of the in-camera ND filter on the XL1s? I'm in the field without a manual and I need to match exposure to the DVX100. Many thanks in advance for your help! Thomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alvin Pingol Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 Should be 1/32 (5 stops). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy Meachin Posted October 26, 2004 Share Posted October 26, 2004 Why did they choose 1/32 - seems like a lot to me? Does the trick though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yusuf Aslanyurek Posted November 8, 2004 Share Posted November 8, 2004 why calling 1/32 not 32x ? usually optical filters called by density 0.3 .6 .9 or by f.factor like 2x 4x 8x why in digitals they calling 1/16 1/32 ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Phil Rhodes Posted November 8, 2004 Premium Member Share Posted November 8, 2004 Hi, Five stops is a lot for an ND filter on a film camera, but I think the idea is to avoid forcing you down into the F/16 sort of range for day exts - perhaps there are diffraction problems with the iris, and it certainly makes for endless DOF. Be better to take some of the inherent gain out of it, methinks. Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
