Sony HC3 - 'Flaring'

[RedKite 1]

I've had the Sony HC3 for a couple of years and generally I would recommend it as a Jump Camera.

However, it does seem to react quite extremely to changes in light. Moving from inside the aircraft out into bright sunlight causes 'flaring' even when set on beach and ski. I know all cameras will react some but compared to my fellow Vidiots (some of whom have much cheaper units) mine seems the most sensitive.

Any suggestions to minimise the problem greatly appreciated.

The HC3 doesn't just "seem" like it's more sensitive, it is. It adjusts exposure far more quickly than most cams, and it's one of the weaknesses of this cam. It has been addressed in later models.
Not much you can do, other than shooting ith exposure slightly under, and using the backlight in the plane.
