Got stuck with settings today

[Hadriangolfer]

Walked 2 miles today to the top of a local area and as I’m new to this I had and always have used my MP2 in auto. It was way to bright but I couldn’t change the settings. Now that I am writing this I was trying to adjust whilst still recording. Should I have stopped then tried something else. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated

You can't change video settings while recording ... stop, tweak the settings & restart recording.

ios settings?
Perhaps you are referring to ISO settings, which adjusts the sensitivity of the sensor. (iOS is the Apple operating system)
Camera settings is a topic that's too involved to cover in a forum post but there are many resources online to explain the interaction of exposure, shutter speed ISO etc.

If exposure was in auto, I'm sure ISO was at the lowest setting of 100. ISO 100 is ideal as it has the least noise and is usually sufficient in light conditions for a normal flight.

I'm pretty sure you can change exposure settings (ISO, shutter, aperture) and even white balance while recording. I would agree you couldn't change resolution or aspect ratio though.
