That would depend on available light, conditions, the subject, and a host of other criteria. There are no one-stop-shop settings that will capture every scene and every subject equally well................ it's a fluid, dynamic-driven situation where you have to adjust your settings to compensate for the present conditions. The Auto mode is a "fair" compromise between all of these conditions, but you'll have much more control over your creations when using manual settings. And the only way to learn them is to just start experimenting. I've been at photography for about 2 years, and still have to try very hard to get things set up right. A good book to read is Understanding Exposure by Brian Peterson. It does a good job of explaining the interaction of ISO, Aperture and Shutter Speed, in a non-technical way. Good luck and have fun!What settings are people using with ND filters?
You are correct, jlo. You could, however, use NDs for stills to make 'special effects like shown on this Wikipedia page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutral_density_filter
In general, you do not necessarily need to use any special settings when using ND-filters. What the NDs will do is lower the shutter speed, and it will do that automatically (or when you are using Manual-mode you will notice and want to set a much lower shutter speed than usual to get a properly exposed image.

I can personally vouch for the incredible customer service and great filters I received from Jakob at PhantomFilters.com. I am not new to phantoms, but very new to more advanced camera settings and filters... Before I even purchased a set from him, I sent him an amateur question or two about ND Filters and he took a tremendous amount of time to reply with detailed answers that put it into terms I could understand. After a few back and forth emails I felt much better about what ND Filters are capable of doing to bring out the best footage with this p3 camera.. I still need a lot of practice and study with post editing, but wow it was a great experience. I purchased a set and couldn't be happier. He possesses a tremendous amount of knowledge and provides really solid filters for a great price.You are correct, jlo.

Great explanation of the settings and things you should look out for while taking video. Thanks for the time to do that.
Smart Tips, very useful !! Thxs a lot !! I guess it's better to use manual mode to keep the golden ration between fps/Shutter speed, right ? as automatic mode may take me out of it ? but not always easy to estimate the right exposure on an iphone on a sunny day... I'll need some practive hereThank you.

Sorry to admit that I bought my filters elsewhere only because at the time I had not heard of you. I took the liberty of downloading and printing your eBook, you're right, anybody can do it. I want to thank you for this invaluable resource! I learned more in 20 minutes than I had in 20 days shooting blind. In payment I will do someone else a good turn and "pay it forward". Thanks.Thank you.
