[QUOTE="Chris70, post: 133963, member: 13633"] Hi there, As recent post: 1) a countryside scene with no light pollution. 2) the camera is on a tripod and is stable. When the sun is strong enough and even going from the strong light of midday to late evening the meter is stable. I can adjust exposure accordingly. At sunset, however, the low level of the light seems to be outwith the camera's range and it fluctuates wildly. A nigh-time shot with no light from the sun is similarly affected. Strange, as the light is at its most stable at night. I could post a picture with the settings but it would look probably okay and salvageable. But as it's a time-lapse shoot the pictures are linked and have to get progressively darker. Mine look odd as the video gets darker and then suddenly veers to too light as I've slightly misjudged the exposure. This is the point during the shoot where I'm guessing the shutter speed. Trying AV might be the obvious choice but everything has to be manual. Cheers, Chris [/QUOTE]
