Schneider Electric's 5813 is a 4x5.65" graduated neutral density (ND) 0.3 filter, engineered for professional cinematographers and photographers. This filter is designed to provide precise control over lighting contrast in high-dynamic-range scenes, enabling balanced exposures for both highlights and shadows.
