I have my TG6 set up as per backscatters recommendations. I'm diving PNW so ... dark and crummy visibility a lot of the time. As a result, I am using "A", 1/125, auto ISO (normally runs 400 on most photos), F8 and -2 on the exposure. I'm also running an Inon S2000 strobe (TTL) with the TG6 on "fill flash", triggered by an optical cable.
My photos are just fine.
However, when I push the "video" record button, my videos are super dark, and I don't know why.
I would have thought the Exp -2 was for photo only, not for photo AND video. However, in the absence of other info I conclude maybe the photo exposure info is also being used for video.
Does anyone have any tips or setup to get bright video (or at least "full natural light") when I push the video record button? Today it did it again and I was coming in, 12fst in bright sunny conditions. If I'd had my gopro it would have been a sunny bright video, but the TG6 just gave me this dark, dark video.
Any video set-up tips, or better yet - a way to have separate video/photo settings would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
