Are ND filters useful with digital camcorders?

Sorry do not know how it would work with a digital camcorder.I only use a DSLR and rarely use movie mode.The ND works very well with decreased shutter speeds on my DSLR for effects such as blurring the running water on streams and to cut down the glare on sunny days.I also use a CP (circular polarizer) filter for glare control.

If camcorder has manual exposure in still shooting mode I guess it is not any different from still camera. Any filter would protect the lens from mist, vapor or drops of water and sand.

No unfortunately not, but the quality is decent enough for you to screen grab stills from the video. Hope that helps.

When lowest aperture setting of f/22 is not enough, you can add an ND filter to add another stop or two to your shot. The difference in darkness is obvious. The longer the exposure the higher the ND filter needed. In some cases all three filters may be required.

Yes there are filters you can use. I found that out once I got back from Cozmel but it took great video from around 40 ft. I think it would have been much better with a filter. I think stunt cams if im not mistaken are the ones that have them.

Yes. that would be correct. Just need to make sure that your camcorder is able to rewrite as some do not.

Yes, although if you are using a CPL or variable ND filter, you'll have some trouble adjusting the filter's ring.

It should work well! Reading up on the camcorder, it can take two 32 gig cards. Enjoy looking in dark places!

I threw mine away it was so bad. There is no way that I would recommend this filter to anyone. A very clear dark X banding was across the frame. Don't waste your money on it. The banding completely ruined shots that I used it for on some waterfalls (which is what I bought it for).

Sorry, it only works with Nikons NEF RAW files. If you convert it to a TIFF file you could use about 80% of what Capture NX2 has to offer.

Most of the DC's I've owned have that option, though it's painfully slow and so I've never used on any of them. There's always the chance that I can't find it in the manual (didn't look until you asked) or that it's undocumented, but I'd guess you can't -- and you already know I won't.That being said, I find the camera's results sufficiently wonderful enough to endure Fuji's annoying solution. After almost a year, I still can't believe how good this cam's images are. If you could compute a performance/cost ratio, this thing would be an even bigger stunner.

The filters in this set are ND2, ND4, and ND8 but they can be stacked to give you what you are looking for.

Hi Alex, The camcorder doesn't have ISO settings. You may use NightShot feature for low light shooting. Vincent

many use an UV filter to protect the lens... you can use ND filter to cut down the light and capture the motion blur of your subject (e.g. water movement and so on). It depends what kind of effect you want apply to your picture, many effects are actually applicable on camera directly. If you mean to use a filter to correct defects, I don't see any defect that you could fix with a filter.The lens is versatile (compact, light and WR) but it's not famous for its resolution.Hope that clarify your doubts.

It is an HD camcorder that produces very nice video and great still pictures as well. These things used to be pricier, but now it's easier to come across one at an affordable price. They have a cool feature: shooting 3D video. There's a special lens that attaches to the camera, and with compatible TV and glasses, you can enjoy the novelty feature. Camcorder uses SD cards, preferably Class 10. It has a touch screen that is pretty cool. If you're interested in the video quality, there are quite a few tests on YouTube. Have a great day!

No, I used it in my digital camera for stills and videos. However, I would not recommend it. It started taking half photos: the bottom half of one photo became the bottom half of the next. Or the bottom half of the photo was completely dark. I replaced it with a San Disk.

A word about the D800. I downloaded the 20 megabite sample jpeg image files nikon provides and tried my hand at working with them in photoshop and Topaz filters. I see some color banding in the shadows, hmm? Has any one else tried working them?The other thing is that I noticed is with 36mp images at 20MB's your post processing times to slow to a crawl.

Yes they work great on any lens you have the adaptor size for. The filters are there to enhance your photos of your image. I personally use the Graduated ND for sunrises or in the snow when you have a distinct separation of light and darks to help ontain corrct exposure. There are many uses for these filters. Have fun being creative.
