Why my videos looked so washed out.
Ok. This was what was happening. I unpack. Set everything up. Start up. Look at the screen to see what sort of picture I was getting. Adjust exposure accordingly so I get a nice bright clear picture. Take off. Film. Land. View video and wonder why everything is so 'washed out'.
Last night. Set everything up, except props. Tried adjusting videos etc. Then I thought I would adjust the white balance just using a sheet of white A4. Looked at the picture through the NVIDIA Shield K1 very dark picture. hmmmmmmm thats not right. So went into settings of K1. Adjusted brightness manually. Vola! Nice, crisp, clean and clear.
What was happening. The shield too dim for outside conditions. I thought I was seeing a dark picture from the camera so I adjust exposure. That was what was giving me awful videos. I have since adjusted brightness on K1 to full. Exposure, right wheel, left alone. Lovely crisp clear videos now. Simple eh? Adjust the brightness of the viewing screen. Daft isnt it?
