Marumi DHG ND32 Filter - 49mm

ND32 means the filter reduces the amount of light entering the lens by 32 times, which is equivalent to 5 stops of light. This allows you to use longer shutter speeds in bright conditions.

Yes, the ND32 filter is excellent for video recording in bright conditions to achieve a cinematic motion blur (e.g., 180-degree shutter rule) or to control exposure without closing down the aperture excessively.

While it reduces the amount of light reaching the sensor, the impact on autofocus is generally minimal in good lighting conditions. In very low light, autofocus may be slower due to less available light.

A fixed ND filter like this one offers consistent quality and no color shift across its density. A variable ND filter offers flexibility to adjust density but can sometimes introduce color casts or banding at certain settings.

Yes, Marumi's DHG filters feature an ultra-low reflection coating designed to minimize internal reflections off the camera sensor.

Vignetting is the darkening of the corners of an image. The thin frame of this filter is designed to reduce this effect, but it can still occur with very wide-angle lenses.

Use a soft brush to remove dust. For smudges, use a microfiber cloth and a specialized lens cleaning solution. Wipe gently from the center outwards.

The thin frame is designed to minimize vignetting. If it occurs, ensure the filter is properly seated. For very wide-angle lenses, a thinner filter or a lens hood adjustment may be necessary.

The DHG series is designed for true color balance. If a color cast is present, it may be due to in-camera white balance settings or post-processing. Ensure your white balance is set correctly before shooting or adjust in post-production.

Ensure you are using the correct filter size (49mm) and that the lens threads are clean. Do not force the filter. If it feels stuck, try gently wiggling it while unscrewing. Avoid overtightening.
