My XF300 has flashing ND light in the viewfinder during filming, even though the iris is at f10 and shutter at 1/250 (or similar). In other words, there is no need for a neutral density filter to be selected since there is plenty of room for both the shutter and iris to adjust without it. Exposures are correct (regular "sunny 16" sort of day with neutral tones - greens, browns, etc.) even though this light is flashing. I've tried it in all modes, but the flashing ND indicators are on in all except total shade or indoors. Does anyone know if I have something set up wrong (I've "reset" to default several times). Does anyone else have this problem? Any ideas on a fix?
The manual says that if the light is flashing to select the indicated ND filter setting. True enough, it opens the iris more (from f10 to f4.5, for instance), but since the exposure is correct already when at f10 there is no need for the ND filter at all (even though the flashing would indicate such).
