Video help

[Scott Reed]

Here is a clip from my first water flight. At about 45 seconds I get fully over water and noticed the video has a sort of "wave effect". Is that just the effect of the sun reflecting off the water? Note I have an ND8 filter on. Should I adjust any other settings with the camera to avoid this? Everything else over land is crystal clear.

Nice location. I suspect that, even with the ND8 filter, your shutter speed was too high for the frame rate - it is a bright, sunny day. If you are shooting at 24 fps, the shutter speed should not be higher than 1/80th. Also, the auto sharpening is probably too great. A setting of -3 is neutral; most experienced shooters set it at -2 (default is 0). Water can be tricky. A polarized ND filter can help.

That looks like the clip from the tablet, not the HD from the SD card?
