HDR video

Paulemus · Sep 21, 2020

HDR video definitely improves exposure under shade trees. But I notice you can’t do shutter priority in HDR. For 60 fps, I would set 1/120 shutter speed. Also manual ISO at 100 (which one client wants) makes shade underexposed. So what does everyone use? HDR with everything Auto?

If you mean Evo 2, then you can set exposure to auto and ISO to manual 100, HDR will be available in this case but you will be not able to play with shutter speed.
Please check this post for Evo 2 Pro video modes: 10 Bit supported resolutions

Well, I was trucking the beach from over the water in HDR, and got a lot of jitter. I’m not sure the shutter speed. But I think out over open terrain without shady spots, ot is better to do manual at 1/120 for 60fps. And just adjust f stop and keep overexposure warning on.

When shooting video in Auto Exposure, ISO 100, on sunny days, I always set EV to -0.75 or -1.0 to prevent overexposure (E2P). Frame rate will be awfully high unless I use the ND filter.

Hi, is this for an EVO 2 8K or 6K Pro...? Cheers.

How do I actually turn on the HDR mode? I have spent ages looking at all the menus. The instruction manual is totally useless.

If your camera settings are H.265, 4K, 30fps and Auto Exposure, you will see an HDR icon next to the video start button. Touch that and you will be recording 10-bit HDR video. That's using a cell phone or tablet for a screen. I'm not sure how you select HDR without the separate screen. Perhaps someone else here can speak to that case. HDR may also be available in lower resolutions and frame rates but I have not tried that.

Hi Rubik3

This worked! thanks again.

I really don't understand why the instruction manual is not more comprehensive and helpful.

I'm glad to help. Enjoy your flying. Will we get to see some videos from you?

The instructions are a bit lacking I will admit, but I think AUTEL assume if they are letting you loose with a poss $2000 drone to fly, you are a competent flyer and have a pretty good idea of settings etc. practice and just going through ALL the menus (which is how I learnt..) time and time again set me up well, who needs the manual... I'm also a radio ham and the last thing we ever look at is the manual... ha-ha.
