Hello,

I was wondering whether anyone else has go a problem with the exposure? It's flickering even when camera is not moving. The software is up to date, I have tried different devices and apps.

Here are some examples (raw footage)

Yup. It is common. ND filters will help a lot.

I think something is wrong with the camera. As it only flickers in dark areas. Also it looks really bad besides the flickering. Your whole pictures is washed out. In the last video, you can clearly see only the black/dark parts are flickering. The rest doesn't change in exposure.

Explain please... ND Filters slow shutter speed. At night shutterspeed is already at its lowest.

Hey if you want to use ND filters at night, be my guest. Oh by the way, the flicker that I am experiencing is only during daytime. Very different from the OP.

Lol, thats why your reply was odd, guess you just saw the videos now. Your first reply was "ND filters will help a lot" So... My relpy was valid. Lol.

But it does seem a sensor issue.

It does. Mine actually looks like pulsating white balance. Only during daytime and if my shutter is set at 60. I did find a plugin for After Effects that removes it. I just hate doing post correction after the fact.

Have you tried setting your exposure to fixed? Playing around with that AE-button on the top right, or changing the tap-to-zoom to tap-to-exposure?

That is not normal unless it's being caused by the lighting. If you are in Europe remember to set the refresh to 50hz to prevent flicker from electronics. Whilst you're at it, set the white balance to manual to prevent it changing part way through the scene.
