Does the Z1 have manual exposure adjustment when recording videos?

Looked all over the internet but can't find an answer to this question. When recording videos with the Z1, is it possible to manually increase the exposure by way of a slider (usually a range of -2 to +2)? I know there's an option to choose spot/centre weighted etc, but can this variable by set in advance with a slider? I film a lot of indoor videos that often end up completely underexposed when left in auto mode, therefore manual override is a must for me.
If not, does anyone know of any third party camera apps that add this functionality?

On mine, running Android 4.4.2, before recording I can do it using the row of icons on the left. Make sure 'SCN' in the top left corner ('scene', in other words) is set to 'off'. This is like selecting 'manual' rather than one of the automatic, scene dependant, modes and it opens up the use of the next settings icon below it, the one that looks like 3 sliders, which would otherwise be 'greyed out'. So now that it's white you can tap it, go in, and manually select your 'white balance' setting (I use 'auto') and also the slider that you mentioned that goes from +2 to - 2. The slider in this case is labelled as 'EV'. Did this help?

  • Am having major issues! this does not work i dont understand..does the ipod have to be off while pressing the buttons if so how is it possible if it is connected to the computer either way it turns on..and when i tried these steps while the ipod was on it

    i am having major issues! this does not work i dont understand..does the ipod have to be off while pressing the buttons if so how is it possible if it is connected to the computer either way it turns on..and when i tried these steps while the ipod was on it still doesnt  work it just asks me “slide to power off” please someone help me i just cant seem to put my ipod in DFU mode

    To get the iPod in recovery mode and DFU mode you first have to turn the iPod off.
    Just what is the problem you are tying to resolve?
    Sometimes you have to let the battery fully drain if you can't turn the iPod off. After charging for at least hour try again.

  • TS3376 The microphone on my i-pad mini does not seem to hear/pick-up any sounds when recording videos, facetime etc.  Has anyone else had this problem?

    The micro phone on my i-pad mini seems to have stopped working.  The unit has never been rough housed and is always kept in a safe environment....we can hear everything fine, but no one can hear us and it does not pick up any sounds when recording video.  Any suggestions on how to fix it?

    I Have just the same problem, if I shout very near the microphone i can just hear something, did you manage to solve the problem?

  • I AM STRUGGLINT TO ACCESS MY IPHOTO'S AND HAVE TO GO THROUGH APPLICATIONS TO ACCESS MY PHOTOS. HOW CAN I CORRECT THIS PLEASE. DOES THE MAC HAVE A DEFRAG?  TX

    I am having problems viewing my iPhoto from the dock and have to go through my applications to view. What do I have to do to correct this please? Also does the Mac have a defrag function? I have also been advised by the sales person that the Mac does not need an antivirus programme, is this true?

    I'm sorry but your post make no sense
    first off All Caps is not necessary and makes things hard to read and is consider shouting - it is rude
    Second you do not have "an iPhoto" - iPhoto is an application that manages photos - the photos are stored (by default) in the iPhoto library in a SQL lite database and you use the iPhoto program to manage them
    I am having problems viewing my iPhoto from the dock and have to go through my applications to view.
    can you please explain this in some detail. When you launch iPhoto by clicking on the iPhoto icon in the Dock what happens?
    As to your other OS questions this is certainly not hte best place to address them - we are iPhoto users just like yourself here  ---  basically as I understand it (and I have had had Macs for 30+ years) there is no "defrag and you do not need one - and antivirus is your choice - most people feel it is a waste of money on a Mac but some like to have it

  • Does the retina display help your eyes when on the computer?

    Does the retina display help your eyes when on the computer for a long period of time? Does it make a difference if you have eye problems?

    First, I'd suggest posting your question on the MacBook Pro forum. This is the Mac Pro forum, where the computers start at 50 pounds and go up from there (at least so far).
    Second, I think it depends on what your eye problems are. I can say that there's a lot less reflection off the screen than the standard MacBook Pro glossy screen; it's similar to the anti-glare screens that you can find on other Mac laptops. The Retina display also has the ability to present a much crisper image with compatible software.

  • Does the 4s have the same excessive data issues as the 5?

    I've been waiting to get the iPhone 5 but I don't want to deal with the issue of the excessive data issues that the iPhone 5 has.It would be my first iPhone, so I would consider settling for the 4s. Does the 4s have same problem as the 5, or should I stay clear of that as well to avoid the headache of the data issue?

    Brico. The iPhone 4S doesn't seem to have any issues with being charged data when using wi-fi. However, I would like to tell you that when you're using some apps, you may lose wi-fi and then your data package would kick in. I've noticed this from time to time with hotel internet. I've never gone over my limit and I'm on my phone using apps or the net most of the day. Most of the time I have wi-fi access, but there's plenty of time where I don't so just by keeping a rough record in my head, if I was getting cut off of wi-fi or being charged for it, I'd know by now.

  • Does the PS4 have a fan test?

    Like the PS3, does the PS4 have a fan test where the thing kicks into full speed for a few seconds? Cuz I love hearing the fans rev up on the PS3 and when I get the PS4 I hope to hear the wonderful sound from it as well. That bit was a joke, I'm not stupid, it's just a question for curiosity.

  • Does the 405 have Standby mode?

    Hi, I bought an NMH405, the installation went well and I have all the media in.
    The problem is that it is always ON and the fan is running all the time and the back light is also blinking all the time.
    The computers on the network are all off and not one is using the HD.
    Does the 405 have an standby mode or a setting that I can set to make it go sleep till some one try to access it?
    thanks

    The NMH4XX series have power saving features that can be enabled using the LCD Menu. From there, you can adjust the backlight and screensaver. The fan on the device though has a bit complex function.

  • Does the N85 have a standalone GPS or AGPS

    Hi,
    I'm considering buying a N85. Only questions that remains unanswered is: Does the N85 have a standalone GPS or AGPS? I prefer the former since I visit countries that have very limited network service.
    Does anyone know the answer. The site or user manual doesn't provide the answer.
    Thanks
    D

    Exactly. If a device has A-GPS then it also has straight-up GPS. All you have to do is deactivate A-GPS in the positioning methods to use and select only GPS, and you will no longer need network coverage.
