It’s for photographers who want to control exposure in bright conditions, especially when movement in a scene is part of the picture. Use it to soften the look of moving water or to show motion in a busy street; the six-stop reduction makes a substantial difference to your exposure settings. It can also help you keep a wider aperture when you want a shallower depth of field. The 62mm size is the key fit detail: it’s the filter’s stated diameter, so it needs to match the filter size on the lens you plan to use. If you’re after a specific long exposure, take a meter reading without the filter, then account for six stops when setting the shutter speed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"specialist-note\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecialist Note\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExposure shifts by six stops once this filter is in place, so it gives you a clear, predictable way to trade light for time. For moving water, take your unfiltered shutter speed and extend it by six stops; for example, 1\/60 sec becomes about 1 sec. That’s a practical starting point for a softer, more flowing look. The ND 1.8 rating describes that strong light reduction, while the 62mm size tells you which lens filter diameter to match. I’d suggest it to someone who already knows the filter size they need and wants a straightforward six-stop reduction. It’s less suited to situations where you need only a small exposure adjustment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand: Formatt Hitech\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFilter type: ND (neutral density)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiameter: 62mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eND rating: 1.8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExposure reduction: 6 stops\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Formatt Hitech","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57563694694740,"sku":"FH-FC62ND1.8","price":77.43,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.htf-store.com\/ar\/products\/formatt-hitech-firecrest-nd-62mm-nd-1-8-6stops-filter","provider":"Hard to Find Camera Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
