Try this. Hover about 130' above a well lit parking area, store front, or street light and point the camera straight down. Tap to focus or manually focus on the well lit area directly below. Once that is in focus everything from about 60 feet to infinity should be in focus. I think it is called the hyper-focal distance. It works for me day or night.
Yes, 130 feet. From what I've read the distance is between 40 and 50 meters, but being American that just confuses me.when you post 130' , I assume you mean 130 feet?
This sounds like a great way to try out.. Thankz a lot.. will definitely check this method out..
I don't think you would want to block any of the small amount of light available. So, probably no filter.BTW, guys, would it be advisable to use a ND8-PL filter lens while doing a night shot?

The more you bump up the ISO the grainier the video gets. The lower the ISO the better looking the video. It is a dance between changing the shutter speed or the ISO to get the best looking night videos. I think using the lowest ISO you can get while still keeping the shutter speed about double the frame rate will get you the best looking video. The filter will just make you use a higher ISO and it will be grainier than if you didn't.May be blocking some light with a filter, but wouldn't bumping up the ISO counter this?

That's the spirit. Excelsior!!Ok, I catch what you mean... But being a guy who just wants to test things out, i'll still give it a try and try to do a side by side video difference comparison and stuff.. What can I say , Always wanted to fly and always wanted to try and do nice video shots.. Now with my new Mavic, I can do both.. LOL..
Thanks for your replies, Bro..![]()
