    P4P Night Camera Settings

    Everything i wrote was specifically for Still Images based on the original question. If you are taking video then its a little different because you're shutter speed is based on your frame rate and you don't suffer from camera blur as its a moving film image. The basic theory s the same though...

    P4P Night Camera Settings

    The P4P handles the dark pretty well, all things considered. To get a sharp image you'll need to limit the shutter speed by going to 'S' Shutter Priority, have the Aperture wide open and then adjust he ISO to get your exposure correct using the front right controller thumb wheel. 1. Get the...

    Fully concur with that, the P4P is so much better in windier or gusty conditions.

    Why, oh, Why an ND filter?

    Although correct in principle there are likely OPs who set a shutter speed for cinematic which results in perceived ‘over exposure’ hence they use an ND in their minds to correct for over exposure. Just a different way to look at it I guess!!

    Why, oh, Why an ND filter?

    I'm a Pro Photographer too, but get a lot of aerial video requests for clients too. The primary reason you see lots of people discussing ND filters is simply due to the fact they want to achieve cinematic smooth video by using the 2:1 ratio rule. Shutter speed is 2 times Frame Rate, most folk...
