Canon PowerShot G9/G10/G11 Neutral Density Filter


Canon PowerShot G10


I’ve recently received several email messages asking how to enable and correctly use the neutral density filter built into the Canon PowerShot G9, G10 and G11 cameras recently.



Here are a few tips & tricks to get you started. Enabling the built in 3-stop ND filter is very simple:


  1. Press the Function/Set button to get to the Function menu.
  2. Use the Up arrow or Down arrow to highlight the ND icon.
  3. Use the Right or Left arrow to select ND (ND Filter On).
  4. Press the Function/Set button again to exit the menu.

If you plan to use the ND filter often you can assign it to the little “S” (shortcut) button using the Set Shortcut Button menu.



Other Tips & Tricks


  • Use a tripod to eliminate camera shake when using the built in ND filter. Read my previous post for more details.
  • You can use a Canon RS60-E3 remote cable release with the PowerShot G10 / G11 or use the Self-Timer to activate the shutter and eliminate even more camera shake.
  • Use a circular polarizer to eliminate reflections and add color depth to you images. My previous post explains how to “trick out” your G9/G10/G11 for landscape shooting.

Enchanted Rock


Enchanted Rock is like no other place on Earth. It’s a huge granite dome extending upwards 425 feet and from the top you can see the Texas Hill Country go on for mile after mile. It’s believed from the archaeological evidence that Native Americans visited the area as early as 11,000 years ago and local folklore speaks of spiritual powers attributed to the unique geology. According to some stories, the Native Americans hid from Anglo settlers on the top of Enchanted Rock and since they were unable to be seen from the ground below, they believed it had made them invisible.

Enchanted Rock has been surveyed, painted and photographed extensively and in 1970 it was declared a National Landmark. The State of Texas acquired it in 1979 and opened it as a state park in 1984. It is one of the most popular hiking and camping destinations in central Texas and welcomes thousands of photographers each year. Enchanted Rock is also one of the most popular stops on the Texas Landscape Safari and I never tire of exploring it’s incredible beauty with the folks that attend my workshop.
