FS7: FS7 Full auto mode doesn't turn off

[Publimix]

Panicked:

Problem solved.
Camera says: FULL AUTO when CineIE turned on.

Reset to factory default?

Press the fill auto button so it is NOT illuminated?

 

[Publimix]

It is solved, camera was in Cine IE mode, then light auto mode is on apparently .

I am used to the Custom mode.

I panicked too early.

Whether your in CineEI, or Custom, the FS7's "FULL AUTO" button shouldn't illuminate when filming in manual mode.

Though I doubt it's the cause of the issue, check you haven't engaged the "HOLD" button while using the "FULL AUTO" function. Bumped "HOLD" once while cradling the camera & it locked me out of recording (a feature I could never imagine wanting).

My thought as well. Have only shot in CineEI so far and have never seen it lit up.

Have you rebooted the camera and re-tested in CineEI? Perhaps the camera was left in full auto when you changed from Custom to CineEI? In that case, its a bug that maybe is easy to recreate.

Thanks, but no, I didn't use the HOLD button.
I don't know what was wrong, but light was on in Cine IE modus. When I changed it to Custom mode I could change it. See if I can replicate the problem.

I agree. It's like putting an auto destruction button on a master control panel in F16. Just next to the acceleration switch.

Good analogy!
