[QUOTE="Mr Geek, post: 77475, member: 15144"] You bet. If your exposure (0.0 normally) and shutter (60 for Spark's 30 fps mode) are all set for best video smoothness then your still photos should be in good shape as well, since still photos just need have EV of 0.0 (or some other value that you want them to have). The Spark doesn't have many settings to fiddle with. You have control over ISO and Shutter and the ND filters simply let you reduce the amount of light hitting the lens as needed to allow you to achieve EV of 0.0 with Shutter of 60 in different brightness conditions. [I][B]Since you want to set/hold Shutter at 60 you then have only ISO to change to achieve EV of 0.0. That where the ND filters come in giving you varying amounts of light blocking/filtering so that using the ISO slider CAN achieve an EV of 0.0 with the Shutter set/held at 60. [/B][/I] That's about all you need to worry about really. The reasons people use manual settings is to eliminate the fluctuation in video coloring as the Auto EV system changes settings as you fly around [B]and[/B] to also be able to set and hold a Shutter setting of 60 for smooth looking video from the Spark. Otherwise in Auto EV mode the shutter constantly varies, making for unpleasant jerky appearance in some scenes and inconsistent coloring. That said, there will be situations where Auto Exposure will be a better mode due to drastically changing lighting in areas you must fly through. [/QUOTE]
