What is a ND4 filter used for?

DJI has three official ND filters for their drones: ND4, ND8, and ND16. The number associated with an ND filter indicates that how much light enters the lens in terms of a fraction. ND4 reduces light by 1/4. An ND4 filter can reduce 2 stops of light, allowing you to slow the shutter speed from 1/100s to 1/25s.

What density ND filter should I buy?

If you’re shooting in bright light and you need to slow the shutter speed because it’s beyond the camera’s limits, the best strengths are likely to be ND2, ND4 and ND8 (1, 2 or 3 stop) filters. If you only have the budget to buy one of these ND filters, the ND8 strength is likely to be more versatile.

What is the difference between ND filters?

What do the ND filter numbers mean? The higher the number in an ND filter, the less light is passed through the lens. For example, an ND2 filter lets in 50% less light than no filter, and an ND4 lets through half as much light again, or 25% light transmission.
