ND Filter

Also known as:Neutral Density FilterVariable ND

Definition

A Neutral Density (ND) filter is a camera accessory that reduces the amount of light entering the lens without affecting color balance. ND filters allow creators to use wider apertures or slower shutter speeds in bright conditions, enabling cinematic motion blur at 24 FPS outdoors and precise exposure control. Variable ND filters are popular for run-and-gun video production.
