When I filming with my P3P all is okay. Execept in the following situation:
When I'm filming and the sun is right behind me, there is a light spot in the centre of the frame. When I pan to the left and the right, it disappears. So does anyone know what this is?

Changing video settings make no difference.

I have an example of the issue right here. (right click --> save as, 114MB).
 
That is a normal optical effect that happens with all cameras. You normally don't see it because you normally aren't taking video with the sun directly behind you.

Roger, haha okay. Yes the sun was low (evening here in Holland right now). So nothing to care :D?
 
Thanks for the link.
I found it interesting.
 
It's called a Heiligenschein.

Thanks. I see why I wasn't able to remember what it is called. :)

It's also called a Glory because of the halo effect if you are looking at your own shadow.

I will just have to call it a sun spot-- because I cant even pronounce those -- much less remember them. Good to know.
Thanks for sharing.:)
