Hi all,
I've done a lot of experimenting with DJI Pocket 2. I've recently done an experiment, where I used the following standard settings to video record:
- Resolution: 4k
- FPS: 30
- Shutter Speed: 1/60
- ISO: 100
- White Balance: 5500
- ND Filter: PolarPro ND32
- Normal color profile
I did however notice the following EV meter readings:
- Camera is facing the sun (0 degrees): -0.3 EV
- Camera is facing 90 degrees from sun, clockwise: -0.7 EV
- Camera is facing 180 degrees from sun, clockwise: -0.7 EV
- Camera is facing 270 degrees from sun, clockwise: -1 EV
My goals is to get the EV to 0. My ND32 filter could only take me to thse EV values. The ND64 filter would have taken me to similar values, but on the positive. In any case, as you can see, the EV varies depepnding on how the camera is rotated relative to the sun. To complicate matters, during my test, there were some places that had real strong shadows due to the buildings and trees, and my EV meter in those areas even reached -3.
In the 2 photos below, I really like the exposure on the left photo, but on the right photo, where there's a very dense shadow from the buildings and trees, everything in the shadow's area becomes really underexposed.
Me facing the sun
How have you dealt with these issues while video recording? I'm thinking that perhaps it would be a good idea to keep the shutter speed (and maybe even the white balance) on Auto. Moreover, would you recommend underexposing or overexposing a video recording?
Thanks!
