I’m really happy to see that there is now exposure compensation for video. it was really frustrating to shoot on a street and having the tops of buildings be overexposed. The setting seems to persist after the change, so one has to reconnect via the app to change to a different setting.

(I was imagining a tinted umbrella or neutral filter placed above the camera to prevent the sky and buildings from being overexposed.)
