Has anyone had any luck getting really smooth video timelapses of sunrise/sunset videos with their P4P? I'd like to run manual mode, but not sure where the "sweet spot" is exposure wise. Below are a couple of captures I got recently. They're both sped up for the sake of time, but you can get an idea for what's going on color and exposure wise across the elapsed time.
Sunrise: Aperture Priority @ between F5-F6.3 (I changed it mid flight) I also noticed some drastic changes in exposure, I can only guess was the ISO changing, or extreme shutter speed change. It could have also been AP mode settings being reset between battery swaps. (probably more likely.)
Sunset: Manual camera settings, but the ground was underexposed to prevent the sky from blowing out even more than it was.
Is it possible to get a good balance between ground and sky detail, while maintaining warmth from the sun tones? Is this impossible to achieve without ND, or graduated ND? Should I just go in with manual settings @ iso 100, F11, and 1/60th or 1/120th and let her rip? I get antsy towards the end of the shot, and want to start correcting exposure.
