P3 camera lens filters

[P3ChinaSkies]

I'm doing a lot of video in Sanya, China these days. It's a seaside resort area so besides the hot sun, it's a lot of white beach. Therefore, my videos are coming out "whitewashed" and looking overexposed.

Which filters should I buy to alleviate this? Thanks in advance!

For shooting in normal daylight conditions, it's best to have both an ND8 and ND16 lens filter on hand. The ND32 lens filter might be a good one to have too, but you won't use it often. You can find all of the commonly used lens filters at the following link:

Here's a good video on how to setup your camera settings:

You need to trial and error with the filters. Use the correct filter to give you the settings you want. For eg iso100, 1080p@24fps and 1/50s shutter speed.

You should also consider changing the EV value to -.3 or -.7 to help overexposure.

Thx geebee. Great idea. I didn't think that changing that value had an effect on the video. I'll try that too but am going to buy one of DJI's filters.
