Flying Blind

[SkyRenderMedia]

Hello all. I have a Galaxy S7 edge. When flying, the screen is so dark I am basically flying blind. I have tried a sunshade and also tried making sure my birghtness is turned all the way up and not set on auto. Has anyone else run into this? If so, what do you recommend?

Thanks in advance.

The first thing to check is that you haven't set your camera to underexpose.
Look in the camera data line towards the top of the screen and find the blue EV number.
If it says something like EV-2.0 or EV-3.0 you need to dial that back to EV0.

Seems like I've had this same issue on bright sunny days. I resolved it by just tapping the screen, which I think automatically adjusts your exposure so you can see in whatever lighting you're flying in. Also, it might help to get a UV filter to fit over your camera lens, tons of different types available on Amazon.

Problem gets elevated at site if you wear photochromic glasses.

A lot of the problem was my exposure value. Thanks all for the help.

That's what I figured, same thing happened to me. Glad we could help

I can second that...one of my main justifications for going through with lasik.
