Hi
Filming a fishing show in NZ. We have problems with the 170 in sharp sunlight. Every 5 to 10 minutes the camera will act like there is a nuclear warfare in front of the lens?? it just completely blows out for no reason. The only way to fix it in a hurry is to either turn it off and on again, or put the lens cap on for a few seconds?? very unfortunate when we are filming a marlin jumping behind the boat. Has anyone had similar experiences with this model or any explanation why this happens?
Thanks

Yes, i use ND filter, usually run it on 1/4 and then run manual iris. I have tried it on Auto Iris, but the problem still occured??
I have yet to try to use it with Auto iris level set to i.e. -4 which should help ( i have been told) ??
