Longer Shutter Speeds
With the Hoya Variable Density II filter, you have the freedom to adjust the shutter speed without having to change the aperture. This allows for beautiful motion blur effects, such as with waterfalls or moving cars.
Larger Aperture
The Hoya Variable Density II enables a larger aperture in overexposed situations to reduce depth of field and draw more attention to your subject.
No Overexposure
Even with a shutter speed of 1/8000 seconds, an f/1.4 or f/1.2 aperture can result in overexposure. By using the Hoya ND filter, you can prevent this by adjusting the light intake.
Benefits of a Variable ND Filter
The filter can reduce shutter speeds when you reach the limits of your camera’s adjustable shutter speed. Additionally, the Hoya Variable Density enhances the bokeh effect in overly bright situations, preventing overexposure.
For Videographers
When making videos, it is crucial that the shutter speed matches the set frame rate. Unlike photography, a too-fast shutter speed in videos can cause a stuttering effect. By using the Hoya Variable Density II filter, you can adjust the shutter speed to the correct value, ensuring smooth footage.
