Problem Pictures/Videos are dark
Cause There is not enough light or the auto exposure is keying on a bright area of the scene
Solution Increase the light on the subject. Remove any bright light sources from the scene. Select a High sharpness (low frame rate) video mode on the �Video Settings� window. Select Wide in the Zoom field for the slowest shutter speed. If using the �Center Weighted� exposure setting, make sure the subject is in the center of the display window. If a bright object is in the center of the window, the rest of the scene will be darkened when the camera attempts to expose the bright object properly.
Pictures/Videos are too Camera is set improperly light for use in bright light or auto exposure is keying on a dark area of the scene
Decrease the amount of light in the scene. Select Fast shutter speed on the �Video Settings� window to take pictures and videos in bright outdoor light. If using the �Center Weighted� exposure setting, make sure the subject is in the center of the display window. If a dark object is in the center of the window, the rest of the scene will be lightened when the camera attempts to expose the dark object properly.
