Android app: live view is way overexposed
Posted: 26.11.2022 20:16
I'm using HR on an Android phone, with a Nikon Z50, over USB.
The live view on the phone is so overexposed that I can't see what I'm doing because detailed areas are completely blown out. I've read the FAQ note on this, and have "exposure simulation" turned on - (without it, the image is totally white). The FAQ says there's a "brightness boost" option I should turn off, but I can't find any such option in the Android app. "Preview", after a long time, shows me an image that's even more blown out.
Update: I've given up on the Android app. I've borrowed a Windows tablet, installed HR on it, and it works as expected - the live view doesn't quite match the camera display, but it's close enough. My conclusion is that the phone app just doesn't work, at least with the Z50.
