(+0.5 increments is also an option in the settings) To achieve this, press down on the menu wheel and selecting +0.3 to +0.6. This should brighten up the faces and jumpsuits that are often dark in front of a blue sky. We've had a recommendation to increase the exposure compensation 1 to 2 increments when ISO is set to Auto. UPDATE: I stick to ISO 100 or 125 more of the time. It's recommended to set this limit from 100 to 800 for skydiving. I like AUTO since it prevents completely lost photos due to exposure issues from the settings. A lower ISO will reduce noise but at the cost of losing some information in the shadows. The higher the ISO, the noisier an image becomes. I set ISO to AUTO to allow for some "wiggle" room if the exposure is off a bit. Test all three for your DZ's conditions and what you are shooting Some prefer Shutter Priority or Aperture Priority. Mind you I'm generally shooting "fun" jumps and formations. I switched to the Sony 20mm since it seemed faster to focus for exit shots. Sony 16-50mm & Sigma 19mm are popular skydiving lenses too and will have fairly similar settings. I currently use a Sigma 19mm/f2.8 Lens Sony 20mm Prime on the a6000. Feel free to give us feedback and recommendations via email or Hypoxic's Facebook Page. Take this as a starting guideline and not necessary rules. It's the culmination of a lot of missed shots, other photographer's insights, my observations, and some research. I'm still learning the platform, but often get the question, "what are the best settings for skydiving?" Today, while testing out the Hypeye Alpha prototypes, I took a step back and wrote up this guide. The results have been amazing! Thus far Parachutist & Blue Skies Mag have published: 2 centerfolds, 1 full page, a calendar shot, and more than a dozen photos all shot by us with this tiny little camera! We've bought into the Sony platform a few years ago and recently started shooting with the Sony a6000. With this, many are getting rid of their old, heavy SLR, and moving to a mirrorless solution. It's spring time, which means skydivers all around the Northern Hemisphere are gearing up for the new season.
