Hello. I would like to take long exposure shots (a second, or so) in normal light, with my Panasonic FX9. Unfortunately, it doesn't have any manual exposure modes.
I don't think an ND filter is available to fit this camera... I've tried holding sunglasses infront of the lens but I just get reflections. The scenarios I have in mind are shooting waterfalls or the sea, with an exposure of 1/2 to a second -for blurry water. Sometimes my 20D is just too big to take out with me! Thanks. |

Have you tried holding an actual ND filter up to your lens? To minimize reflections you could hold a piece of cardboard, a hat or other suitable object to shade the front of the camera from direct light.
If the ND filter you have isn't strong enough, try stacking it with a polarizer. Grant |

Hello there,
Thanks for the suggestion - I don't own an ND filter at the moment, but I will report back on how it goes after I have purchased one. All the best. |

Unless you plan to use the ND filter a lot, you can get ND gels at relatively low cost.
