Hey everyone. I'm still learning how to shoot with my HPX170. I was shooting some footage outside in the sunlight (clear blue skies, no cloud cover, just after 1:00 pm) and in 720/24p mode with 180d (1/48th) shutter it looks overexposed. Big time! If I set the shutter speed to 1/1000th it looks properly exposed. But, I don't want to shoot at 1/1000th. I want to shoot at 1/48th since I'm shooting at 24p. Can somebody please tell me what I'm doing wrong and what settings I need to change to get a proper exposure in sunlight at 24p 180d? Thanks.

Use the ND filter. Outdoors you should probably have it on 1/64.
