Default Prop performance in clouds question

I would look at how the video camera compensates for the lower light
level in the cloud. *If it changes its scan/shutter rate it would
cause the apparent change in relative movement of
the propeller. *... What you are witnessing is the sync of the prop
with the shutter and any variation in either can cause the illusion of
movement.


That's my guess, as well.

I am using a Kodak Easy Share camera. Does that adjust based on what
it "sees"?

I just put it on Movie and point and shoot, thus me being intrigued
figuring it was the airplane and and not the camera end.

Unless of course if the frame rate can change based on what the camera
sees being "so automatic"?

I sure don't know myself, but pretty coincidental seeing the strobe
change in VMC vs IMC.
