Video Dark?

ankurman20 · Mar 14, 2017

Hi Everyone,

I've been trying to figure this video problem I have been having. I tried searching but not many people are having this problem, unless I'm looking in the wrong area.

Anyway, I been flying my Mavic for a few week and I would get random videos that are completely dark. I have two videos that were taken the same day only an hour apart with the same weather conditions. Both were on auto video settings.

This is a huge problem because I can see if the video is like this when I am flying. I can only tell once I upload to my computer and play the videos back.

Here is the one that it should look like:

Here is the one that is dark:

I can also provide video if needed.

Thanks

Are you sure you aren't just accidentally turning the right wheel control, which controls the EV, down?

I forgot to mention that I kept my EV setting to 0 and I kept checking it often.

The only things i can think of are either wrong (non-0) EV or an accidental AE lock.

Borislip,

I have made sure that both are correct. I mean I can be flying for an entire battery and be recording the entire flight and no matter what I do, the video is still like that. I have set up my C1 button to center focus and I constantly focus. White balance is on auto and I don't adjust EV wheel.
