Formatt Hitech Firecrest ND 100x100mm (4x4) ND 0.9 (3stops)
Formatt Hitech Firecrest ND 100x100mm (4x4) ND 0.9 (3stops) | Control light for longer exposures
Without a neutral-density filter, you have to rely on your camera’s exposure settings alone to keep a shutter open longer or use a wider aperture in bright conditions. This Formatt Hitech Firecrest filter reduces the light reaching the camera, giving you more room to make that creative choice. It suits photographers working with landscapes, water or other scenes where a slower shutter speed can show movement, as well as anyone who wants to adjust exposure without changing the scene’s lighting. Its square format is intended for a square-filter approach to shooting, rather than a small filter that screws directly onto a lens. The appeal here is practical control: you can choose the exposure effect you want, then account for the reduced light. It’s a focused tool for shaping shutter speed and aperture, not a filter that changes the scene by itself.
Specialist Note
Three stops won’t turn every daylight scene into a dramatic long exposure; the shutter speed you start with still matters. But that measured reduction makes this a sensible filter when you want a little more time to show movement without jumping to a much denser filter. The 100x100mm square size gives you a broad, square filter format to work with, while ND 0.9 means the light reduction is three stops. I’d consider it for flowing water or moving clouds: meter the scene, then lengthen the exposure to suit. If your unfiltered reading is 1/8 second, three stops brings it to about one second.
Working out the exposure
A three-stop reduction means multiplying the metered exposure time by eight, while keeping the other exposure settings unchanged. For example, 1/30 second becomes about 1/4 second. That gives moving water more time to blur while stationary parts of the scene remain governed by your chosen composition and focus. Treat the calculated time as a starting point, then review the result and adjust if the movement needs more or less blur. This simple exposure adjustment is the main reason to choose a three-stop ND filter: it gives you a clear, predictable change without relying on a guess about how much longer to expose.
