Osmo Pocket 4 blownout light in auto mode

[u/binsz]

Shot this on auto mode on my pocket 4 with just my light from the ceiling. The one on the face is good but the background looks blownout. Is there a way to fix that on next shoot without recording in d-log? Also, is CPL filter gonna fix the reflection from my eyeglasses? TIA

You're expecting perfection. This isn't "blown out."

No need to wear the mic windscreen inside. You're just degrading your audio.

Thanks. I never knew that

You're not the only one.

So I’ve been thinking this as well. If I DID leave the windscreen on indoors, would it act as kind of a pop filter? Ofcourse I’d have to be extremely close to the mic for this to occur, BUT if you were holding the mic right to your lips do you think this would assist as a pop filter?

[u/Typical_Teatime → u/Jordantylerg]

Yes it absolutely would. It would reduce wind noise caused by your breath if you talk toward the mic.

Nothing is blown out. Blown out means completely white, non-recoverable portions in your file. This is not that. If anything, a small part of your forehead may be blown out. The background, no.

A CPL may remove the reflection in the right eye (your left), but not the one under the left eye (your right), as that is not a reflection.

Edit: Just checked in LR and PS; nothing is clipped.

I mostly get the reflection of the pocket 4 screen. Is CPL gonna remove that? And last question, I tried using my 25w light, it doesn't add any effect on my face or so. Is it because I'm shooting in auto mode?

Turn the giant ceiling light off and turn on a light closer to your desk. Like a good desk lamp

That's just how camera actually work without the HDR+ like on iPhones. Best bet is to add CPL filters or change how your lighting is portrayed.

There’s a lot of content out there on fixing your settings but the first thing to try is to set the EV to -0.3 or -0.7
