built-in ND filter, turn the ND filter on/off according to

the screen display.

filter unlock button and turn the ND filter

operating ring.

Displayed only when using lenses with built-in ND filter.

If you have no external ND filter available, use the Tv mode and set a faster shutter speed, or use the Av mode and set

a small aperture value.

Depending on the scene, the color may change when turning the ND filter on/off. Setting a custom

white balance may be effective in such case ( 68).
