As a newbe on this forum and new owner of a P3pro I have far to much light on sunny days like these
I have already instlalled a #8 filter but this is not enough, but I cannot find how to adjust the aperture on the camerasettings.
I have the user manual(on file) but have not been able to find what I need.

If this has already been covered somewhere I would appreciate a link
Thanks

The P3 camera has no adjustable aperature, no F Stop available like used on a regular camera. Using a neutral density filter is a substitute measure for F Stop. Use a higher shutter speed such as 30 frames per second and 120 shutter speed. Or you could use a ND16 filter instead of your ND8.

If taking still picture then make sure your ISO is the minimum ISO 100.

There is a wheel by your right hand that if you turn inwards, it will get darker. It’s on the controller. Do you know about this ? Just wondering.

Are you asking about exposure compensation?
Watch the camera data on screen while you turn the wheel?
What's happening to to EV value?
Leave it close to EV0 unless you have a particular reason to over or under expose.

I did find this after the previous post, but still, thank you for your hint!
I'll try this out today.

If you are talking about exposure compensation, all that will do is over or underexpose the image.
Most users want to get a properly exposed image.
