Formatt Hitech Firecrest ND 100x100mm (4x4) ND 4.8 (16stops) | Extend exposure in bright light
Bright daylight can make the shutter speed too fast for the motion you want to show. This Formatt Hitech Firecrest ND filter cuts the light by 16 stops, letting you use much longer exposures without relying on a darker time of day. It’s aimed at photographers who want to blur moving water, soften passing clouds or give busy scenes a calmer feel. The 100 x 100 mm square format is made for filter setups that take this size, while the ND 4.8 rating describes a very strong reduction in light. That makes it useful when a modest ND filter won’t slow the exposure enough. It’s a specialist tool rather than an everyday filter: the long exposure is the point, and you’ll need to plan for it. If you’re working in daylight and want movement to register as a smooth blur, this filter gives you room to make that decision through shutter speed.
For a practical starting point, take a meter reading before using the filter, then account for the 16-stop reduction. For example, a reading of 1/60 sec becomes roughly 18 minutes at the same aperture and ISO. That’s a substantial change, so use a timer and keep an eye on the scene as it develops.
Specialist Note
Sixteen stops is far too much for a small exposure adjustment, so I wouldn’t suggest this as your everyday ND filter. Its strength makes sense when you want a genuinely long exposure in daylight. The 100 x 100 mm size gives you a square filter format to build into a matching filter setup, and the ND 4.8 rating means you can stretch shutter times dramatically. I’d recommend it to landscape photographers smoothing water or drawing cloud movement across the frame. Take your meter reading first: at 1/60 sec, the equivalent exposure is about 18 minutes at unchanged aperture and ISO. That long timing needs a steady setup and a little patience.
