In more challenging light conditions,

the tiny sensor of the Mini 4K shows his
0:05
age and seriously struggles.

When the sun is just outside the frame,
0:11
there is a noticeable drop in detail and
0:14
contrast near the edge.

Footage taken in the sun's direction is
0:19
a stress test for sensor, processor, and
0:22
lens quality. Once the sun enters the
0:25
frame, the dynamic range becomes
0:26
overwhelming, making it impossible to
0:29
balance exposure between highlight and
0:31
shadows. The region around the sun is
0:34
affected by flaring, detail loss, and
0:37
chromatic aberration. Shooting anywhere
0:40
in the direction of the sun should be
0:41
avoided with this model.

0:50
color profile.

If the conditions are not too extreme,
1:09

1:11
shadows and the highlights properly.
1:14
Although footage taken in the sun's
1:16
direction requires some experience.
