Notice how the clouds become more pronounced as the ND Filter is increased.
*IF you change the ND filter while recording, the movie and the sound may be distorted.
* While recording a bright subject, diffraction may occur if you close the aperture further down,
resulting in a fuzzy focus (this is common phenomenon with video cameras). The ND filter
suppresses this phenomenon and gives better recording results.
ADJUSTING THE WHITE BALANCE
You are going to want to adjust the white balance according to the lighting conditions of your
recording environment.
Here is a good blog on "Understanding White Balance
" (click to go to blog)
The NX5U allows you to store two white balance presets (good if you are filming in the same
location with the same lighting as in a studio setting). White balance values adjusted for light
sources can be stored in memory A and memory B. Unless a white balance is readjusted, values
will remain even after the power has been turned off.
There is another preset for Outdoor which is good when recording neon signs or fireworks,
sunset/sunrise, just after sunset or just before sunrise, and under daylight color fluorescent
lamps.
There is also a preset for Indoor which is good for shooting under the lighting conditions that
change in many ways, such as a party hall, under strong light as in a photography studio and
under sodium lamp or mercury lamps.
To Save the Adjusted White Balance Value in Memory A or B
1) During recording or standby, set the AUTO/MANUAL switch to MANUAL
2) Press the WHT BAL button.
3) Set the white balance memory switch to A or B (whichever one you want to set).
