Why do cameras still need ND filters?

1.99K views

Obviously it was a thing for film cameras, but now that everything is digital, something like “just make the picture darker” seems extremely easy to do with software

quick edit, I know what ND filters are for and how to use them, no need to explain. it just seems to me that it could be engineered in a way that doesn’t require them, which is what I’m asking about

One thing I haven’t seen mentioned is that it is generally good to put some kind of filter on all your lenses to give you one extra layer of protection of the glass on the actual lens
