How do I make the camera to NOT adjust brightness automaticaly? The options in the White balance does not seem to help.

I have been trying to do that same thing. Some scenes get messed up by the auto-exposure. A couple steps down in the settings you can change how bright or dark the picture is but that pesky auto-exposure is still active. Let's hope if they ever put up another firmware update that they include that functionality like when they added the timer function.

I use bulb setting as well. This feature works best when you have a remote that is capable of being locked so you don't have to personally hold open the shutter for the duration of the shot.

The answer by Dagmar Miura is mostly correct and the exact issues I experience with this camera. Setting white balance to manual doesnt solve "all" the problems of white balance and color shifting but helps considerably. There is still some color shifting when panning through rooms with mixed lighting conditions that I cant seem to avoid. Its not enough for me to call this camera junk because I use it often and have owned it for a year but it is somewhat irritating.

you have to search out adaptive brightness, there is an area where you can turn off the adaptive brightness, so it stays bright always.

Based on my experience, the issue is related to how level is you Luma. If it is not level, then it will turn itself off. Try to make it as level as possible and test it again.

Try turning the brightness down and the contrast up and also adjust the color so it looks as real as possible. Also you can change the energy saver setting to make to lighter or darker. Offhand my settings on dynamic mode are:Contrast: 95Brightness: 32Color: 64Sharpness: 90Energy Saver: Level 1

Sorry man I have not used it yet. On my others camera it is a setting I can change. I'll look at the camera when I get home and see if I can help out. I have been out of town. I'll get back this weekend

There is an option in Windows 8 Settings to turn automatic brightness off. Tha should solve this issue

Mine is ok at night because any motion that triggered the recording feature also triggered my motion light in the area of camera focus. I have mine set to the ultimate focus for the area it covers,but I don't believe you can alter the focus once it has been recorded.

I have not seen this issue with my camera. I have experimented with all of the various video settings and could not create this. Make sure you have enough lighting.

The Brightness is adjustable from the menu, if you load the software. I have adjusted mine to full brightness

This camera has a button to adjust the setting on it. You will need to play with it to adjust. Sounds like you have it set on mirror which is reverse.

Check your settings, I believe it has a built in light sensor, try changing the settings

Try this: go to "settings" (upper-left of the arrows)....use right arrow to get to Brightness, further right arrows to adjust,use OK, then "EXIT".

It's the F5 button. There is no adjusting the brightness, however. It's just On or Off.
