Looks great! What camera settings are you using? I've just started trying to capture some sunsets from my usual flying spot, but what I see in the videos doesn't seem to match what I see in the sky. Very new to this and have very limited camera knowledge at this point. Thanks.

Hi. I struggle with videos and pictures from my H also. Learned a lot from all these happy fliers. Sometimes as you watch what you took you get a very pleasant surprise. If only I could remember how I did it ! Keith

My favorite sunset picture actually happened 6 or 7 minutes after the sun went down. The "H" will almost take pic. in the dark!

I thought so, but had to ask ? Oh, and one more if you don't mind, Is that picture in your avatar really you as well ?

The ambient light was warm.
I always lock the white balance before takeoff.
(It's on my checklist before start record.)
When recording the sky, I switch the tilt to "rate" mode, to tilt up.
The automatic exposure settings do the rest.
