• To decrease depth of field by allowing wider apertures to be used, which helps separate subjects from their background  
• To decrease the effective ISO of high speed film (above ISO 400) and allow it to be used outdoors in bright situations  
• To allow cine and video cameras (which have fixed shutter speeds) to film subjects such as snow, sand or other bright scenes which could cause overexposure  Neutral Density factors: 
• NDx2 (exposure adjustment = 1 stop, reduces ISO 1/2)  
• NDx4 (exposure adjustment = 2 stops, reduces ISO 1/4)

• NDx8 (exposure adjustment = 3 stops, reduces ISO 1/8)
