Photo & video light difference at night.

[Carb63]

Good evening all,

Hope all had a great weekend.
My question and issue this evening is the difference in lighting while flying at night. Why is it when taking a picture the light exposure is adjustable with the control knob, however , when I switch to record video, the lighting diminished greatly? What am I doing wrong, and how can I keep the same light exposure for both or at least be able to adjust the video for more light ? Also, how do I enable the AE lock feature to keep my focus set while capturing video in the manual setting? Hi .

TIA

When in photos mode you can set up to an 8 second exposure which allows more light to accumulate on the sensor. When in video mode your exposure can’t be longer than the time to capture one frame (1/24th of a second at slowest) or you’d never get a fully exposed frame.

There’s nothing to fix that’s just how it works.

Turn your ISO up higher. But I don’t recommend going past 800 because the picture will start to generate a lot of noise

Got it. Thanks.
