Neutral density camera filter Hoya 0994 62 mm Black

The Hoya 0994 62 mm Neutral Density (ND) filter reduces the light entering your camera lens by 7.2/3 stops (options in the PRO ND line range from 2-stop to 10-stop). Designed for still photography and HDSLR video, this 62 mm black filter lets you use wider apertures or slower shutter speeds in bright conditions while maintaining neutral colour balance thanks to Hoya's ACCU-ND technology. The low-profile one-piece aluminium ring minimises vignetting and keeps the glass parallel to the sensor for consistent image quality.

Advantages

ACCU-ND metallic coating provides a truly neutral colour balance so images do not suffer from noticeable colour cast as you change filter density. The filter allows controlled reduction of light for creative effects—longer exposures and shallower depth of field—while the slim aluminium frame reduces the risk of vignetting on wide-angle lenses. The black finish minimises reflections and helps preserve contrast.

Suitable for

• Landscape long-exposure photography
• Portraits with reduced depth of field in bright light
• HDSLR video requiring consistent colour balance across densities
• Creative motion blur effects (water, clouds, traffic)

How to use

Screw the 62 mm Hoya PRO ND filter onto the front of a lens with a matching filter thread. With the filter mounted you can open the aperture wider or select a slower shutter speed than would otherwise be possible in bright light. Set white balance once; ACCU-ND coating preserves neutral colour across densities so colour balance remains consistent if you change filters. Use the low-profile ring to avoid vignetting when working with wide-angle lenses.

Recommendations for use

For best results, attach the filter securely and check for vignetting when using ultra-wide lenses. When switching densities, verify exposure and keep a consistent white balance setting to take advantage of the ACCU-ND neutral colour performance.
