I used manual aperture when I switcehd ND filters, not automatic.

This is a quick test video to show you the new Sony HXR-NX3 camcorder, audio-technica BP4025 and Manfrotto 502AH video head. I've had this camera just for one day before I made this video so I don't have much experience with it. Feel free to ask any questions about my equipment!
