Thanks for this info. Is there a definite way to determine the 'half way point' before exposure opens up or it is determined more by look and preference?
Lol, as with anything artistic, being an artist myself. It’s more feeling. But, You will know, because there is an eveness in the video. It feels right. Try it a couple times, as it gimbals down slowly, you will see a moment where it just looks right, not under exposed, like it is when you first start angling down. And not completely washed out when you have your full tilt down. Apply the lock. Then gimbal up, look at your sky, you should see a slightly lighter but still well exposed sky.
And now gimbally down no drastic changes in exposure. The terrain will be slightly darker but not underexposed. So you’re compromising, a little of the sky and a little of the earth below.
Filters make these levels even better, I never fly without filters.
But if you really want to achieve this technically. Use the exposure meter, have it up in your display. And grade it, using the ae/lock. After apply the lock, check your exposure range on the waveform in the meter. That wave should be in the center.
Check out my Dinosaur video on my channel. I got some great exposures. It’s long 30 min. So stop it when you want. Lol
I do this as a passion, not on how many youtube clicks I get.
