    Neutral density (ND) filters are used to reduce the amount of light entering a camera. They are rated numerically based on their density, with every 0.30 increase in density equating to a one stop reduction in light. A 0.3 ND filter cuts light by one stop, allowing slower shutter speeds or wider apertures, while a 0.6 ND filter cuts light by two stops.

    Neutral Density Filters

    From Chapter 7, page 107

    ND filters are rated numerically according to their density. Every 0.30 of density cuts light by one stop. For example, if your meter suggests a setting of f/4 at 1/60 when using a 0.3 ND filter, use f/2.8 at 1/60 (for less depth of field) or f/4 at 1/30 (for more blurring). To cut light by two stops, use a 0.6 ND filter.
    ND Filter 0.3 0.6 0.9 1.2 1.5 Cuts Light By (in Stops) 1 2 3 4 5
