ArmyMedic 0 #1 July 26, 2007 Just bought a new DCR-HC32 (Sony) Monday and shot some tandems with it for the first time yesterday with mixed results. Camera worked fine, no problems with dropping frames during recording and the Cam Eye worked great (that was the problem with the old 110). My only issue is that most of the vids I shot yesterday seemed really "bleached" and the white balance is pretty far off. It was a hazy day so the sky was pretty bland instead of a brilliant blue, but even when the pair were in the door of the Blackhwawk (I was rear float) the student's face was totally blanched out (even more than normal ) I havent read the manual yet but there has to be a way to change the exposure levels and/or iris stuff. Does anyone have any knowledge of this they can share? (I was re-recording over an old mini-DV and using a 0.7 wide angle lens)"This is better than sex, and cheaper too!"

ArmyMedic 0 #4 July 26, 2007 Did a dumb thing and pull it out of the box, mounted it and flew it for some semi-high vis tandems...looking at the manual now! "This is better than sex, and cheaper too!" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JSE 1 #6 July 26, 2007 When a bought my hc-40 a few years ago it did the same thing. I think i just had to adjust the white balance to fix it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DSE 3 #7 July 27, 2007 Miami likely has it right; Backlight feature enabled. Or...one of the profile modes enabled. Either one could cause it. Another potential is that it was set for manual exposure and exposure set in the aircraft, and locked, so in freefall it would overexpose. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ArmyMedic 0 #8 July 28, 2007 yup...that was it! Backlight feature was on, turned it off and have flown everything from from first lift through sunset loads and it works great...thanks for all the tips!"This is better than sex, and cheaper too!"
