Video under exposed

sydhsydh1 — Thu, 19 Sep 2019 15:30:29 GMT

I have now shot several videos on my RX10M4 but many of them are under exposed. Those that are in perfect sunny conditions are perfect, but as soon as I shoot in shade, or a landscape shot that includes 50% sky, the video is very dark.

I understand there are several exposure choices in the menu and I have been using Program Auto. I assume the exposure settings in the menu Exposure 1 are for still photography only.

My video settings are XAVC S 4K 25p 60M and quality is set to Fine.

Can anyone suggest what settings should be for general video as I am assuming I have something set wrong.

Hi sydhsydh1,

Welcome to the community.

I'm just going to try to find some answers for you. In the meantime, maybe someone else in the community might have some ideas.

Thanks,

Hi sydhsydh1,

Have you tried to select "Manual Exposure", increase the brightness and check if that makes any difference?
