Hey ns, i have a problem with overexposure in my videos. Im shooting at 1080 24fps with an iso of 100 (extremely bright day) and my shutter speed is 1/60. My videos are still coming out extremely overexposed. Any advice? is post the best way to fix this? or is there something i am doing wrong? btw shooting with nikon d7000

well what aperture are you using? if you want to use a shutter of 1/60 your aperture will either have to be nearly closed or you'll need a ND filter

You probably should crank your aperture to f11-f16 and i know you dont want to but you probably need to turn up your shutter as well. if you dont want to do that, id suggest buying a ND filter.

You don't necessarily HAVE to follow the rule of double the frame rate = shutter. Thats for "film like" look and its NBD to shoot a higher frame rate, no one will notice honestly.

Meh, maybe its easy for you to see but for 99% of people viewing your video its not noticable. I still watch old clownschool edits I made (where I shot 1/1000 cause i didnt know what i was doing) and it doesnt look any different. I moreso notice when people shoot 60p 125 because the motion blur is almost too much for me.

NDs are a great option. I have ND400, basically you gain 9 stops. Say you don't have a filter, you close you aperture to f/19 to be "good". Add a filter, aperture f/10 you'll have the same exposure. Good for having a decent depth of fiel in daylight.

I would second that. Although it's kinda a film rule, for the untrained eye which is 99.99 percent of people watching the edit. They won't be able to tell at all
