Neutral Density Filter?
I have a Sony HDR-XR500v, and when I was with my dad on a dog walk recording them in the forest, there were some exposure problems. It was almost all shade, but the holes in the canopy of the trees allowed light to hit the ground that when recorded was too bright to make anything out that would have been there.
So I was thinking about buying a neutral density filter because from what I've seen, this seems like it would fix my problem. But because I do not know this for sure, I thought I'd ask if this is true, and if it is, what should I look for in filters? I see that some have .6 stop, or 2 stop. What are these stops, and how important are they in the effect of the neutral density filter? And is it a good filter for a dog walk?
the ND filter will not cure the problem because it does not change the contrast ratio of bright to dark areas. what you have is an exposure setting problem. with a still camera, you use the spot metering capability to set the exposure when pointed at the bright areas. a video camera is not designed for spot metering, rather it tries to make the entire frame a medium grey exposure.
possible solutions-
1 when auto exposure is on, move close enough to the bright areas until that controls the overall exposure.
2 some cameras have AE over-ride that allows you to set exposure say -2 stops, which would be helpful here.
3 if the camera allows full manual exposure, set it for a well defined picture in the bright spots.
in all cases, getting a good picture in the bright area will cause the darker regions to go very black, that is unavoidable in video shooting.
