Expand the range of creative effects available to you with the 100 x 100mm NanoPro MC ND 3.0 Filter from Haida. This square neutral density filter is 2mm thick and features a 1000x filter factor, providing a 10-stop reduction in exposure across the entire image. This allows you to slow down shutter speeds to capture movement in your photos and use wider apertures in bright lighting situations.

Made of optical glass, the filter is designed to provide a neutral performance that leaves no color cast and preserves image sharpness. Applied on both sides are several layers of coating which help reduce ghosting and reflections. The coating also makes the surface resistant to scratches and repels water, making it easier to clean when using the filter in inclement conditions.

The new Panasonic HC-PV100 is a palm-sized, very light, 6 megapixel full-HD camcorder with functionality and audio and lighting controls required for professional videography. It has a 1/3.1-inch Back Side Illumination (BSI) sensor and a built-in LED video light outputting 300 lx at 1 metre.

The camcorder is built with a 20x zoom/F1.8 lens and a handle for shooting applications such as corporate work, weddings and field production. The sensor supports low light evening events such as receptions or corporate launches, and the dual SD card slots allow continuous recording. When the first card reaches full capacity, the system automatically switches to the second card, and hot-swap recording allows cards to be exchanged while shooting. Simultaneous recording captures data at the same time onto both SD cards as backup against data loss.

The HC-PV100 is designed for on-site acquisition with functions and enough versatility to support a sole operator. It weighs only 1.5kgs and has triple manual rings, with a focus ring, zoom ring and iris ring on the lens barrel for a fast, natural style of camera work. Two-channel XLR audio input terminals are on the body for sound recording, with support for external microphones requiring a phantom power supply up to audio equipment with +4 dB output.

Recording formats are MOV/MP4 AVCHD with MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 compression. An illuminated LED ring on the side of the camcorder shows when it is recording, also convenient for one-person operations when the cameraman is also the presenter, for example. A colour conversion and diffusion filters, 3.0-inch wide LCD monitor and blur suppression from wide angle to zoom shots via the 5-Axis HYBRID Optical Image Stabiliser are other single-operator supports.

A compact instant film camera, the ice blue instax mini from Fujifilm has been updated for selfie shooters and features a range of convenient controls for producing credit card sized prints. The sleek design incorporates a Fujinon 60mm f/12.7 lens, which offers a fixed focus from 2' to infinity, and a small selfie mirror is built into the front of the lens design for accurately composing self-portraits. Alternatively, a macro attachment lens is included to reduce the minimum focus distance for working with close-up subjects. For general shooting, the optical viewfinder is available and incorporates a central target spot to aid in composing images.

For controlling the look of imagery, the aperture setting can be changed in four steps, from f/12.7 to f/32, to suit various shooting conditions ranging from indoor lighting to bright sunlight. The dedicated hi key mode produces intentionally over exposed frames for a distinctly creative look. An automatic flash is built in to provide additional illumination when shooting in low light.
