Tiffen 62mm Ultra Contrast 1/4 Filter
- Product Code: ga262553
-
The Tiffen 62mm Ultra Contrast 1/4 Filter can be applied to purposely reduce contrast while photographing an image or while recording video. By distributing ambient illumination to darker areas within a scene, this filter is useful in helping to uniformly balance the tonal range among highlights and shadows. Detail is increased within shadow regions while flare and halation around highlights is purposely limited.
This filter has a grade of 1/4. Grades of 1/8, 1/2, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 are also available where this filter type's effect becomes approximately twice as strong with each grade number increase.
This filter is made using ColorCore technology, a process that involves laminating the filter substrate between 2 pieces of optical glass and grinding flat to a tolerance of 1/10,000th of an inch.

Related Questions and Answers
Q: 1. Do I need to save the 'sidecar' .XML files?
A: Depending on which video editing program you're using, the XML files will be necessary. I'd suggest saving these files in a separate folder.
Q: 2. Can any Mac users, that use Final Cut Pro X, let me know if the native XAVC S codec will import directly or if it needs converted?
A: It imports directly with no problem.I copied all my 4K clips to an external hard drive, which imported as MP4 3840 x 2160 Codec H.264 Linear PCM.I created proxy media which helps with the smoothness of the editing process.I don't have a 4K TV, but have successfully burned to Blu-ray HD directly from Final Cut Pro X where it downgrades to 1080, and the result is stunning - really sharp.
Q: 3. how well does this record in low light?compared for the higher end model,thanks
A: This model from Sony performs great in lowlight. The AX53 has a 1/2.5 CMOS video sensor, with an aperture of f/ 2 - f/ 3.8 which is great for consumer and prosumer use. However, higher models like the Sony FDR AX100 will provide better lowlight since it has a larger 1 video sensor.
Q: 4. Does the optical steady shot provide leveling too? It seems to constantly get off balance. (It works for general steadiness.)
A: No, optical stabilization in the Sony FDR-AX53 4K Ultra HD Handycam Camcorder (or any camera with optical stabilization) will not level the shot, it is only intended as a tool to help with camera shakes.
Q: 5. Can the camera be used in a driving rain?
A: Unfortunately no. The Sony FDR-AX53 4K Ultra HD Handycam Camcorder is not waterproof.
Q: 6. How easy is it to see through the eyepiece? Is there sufficient space to view straight on or does it have to be rotated upward to get around the battery pack? In the pictures, it does not look like the model is able to get close to the eyepiece either.
A: You have to pull the viewfinder out to turn it on, so it then extends past the battery. You can also tilt it up, if you like. It is very clear, and helpful on a sunny day, when the flip-out screen can get washed out.
Q: 7. Would this be a good livestream camera?
A: I don't believe it has a video out for live 4k so probably not a solution for that.
Q: 8. Does the external mic jack have power ability(For shotgun mic Rode Go II)?
A: Yes, the Sony FDR-AX53 4K Ultra HD Handycam Camcorder offers plug-in power for the 3.5mm microphone port for microphones needing power, like the RODE VideoMic GO II Ultracompact Analog/USB Camera-Mount Shotgun Microphone.
Q: 9. I bought the Vivitar ND Filter - https://a href= http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/944341-REG/vivitar_viv_vndx_55_55mm_vari_ndx_filter.html target= _blank www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/944341-REG/vivitar_viv_vndx_55_55mm_vari_ndx_filter.html/a - for this camera and notice a distinctive pink cast to my video footage. I am shooting in bright mid-day sun with all camera setting on Auto I've gone over all camera settings to see if I've missed something but nothing jumps out at me.I can remove the pink tint in post but I'd rather not. Anyone have any ideas?Thanks in advance!
A: You might've thought of this but doing a manual white balance with your filters attached should get you back to normal color.
Q: 10. Does this have a date & Time Stamp?
A: You probably mean if it "prints" the date and time on pictures. It does not do that, but of course, every video and picture file has the date and time saved with it.
