Photograph and/or Video Quality Issues:
Nigh time Photos/Videos appear too dark:

Check if the battery power is full. The flash will stop operating towards the end of the
battery life.

You will achieve the best results if the subject is within the ideal flash range.
Anything beyond 12m (outside the 62º angle) will appear dark.

If the Spydercam is set to take more than one image (Capture Number), the latter
images might be darker because of the time it takes for the flash to fully recharge.

As per above the latter images might be darker if the interval (Interval Setting)
between images are too short.
Day time Photos/Videos appear too dark:

Ensure that the Spydercam is not aimed directly into the sun or other light sources,
since it may cause the auto exposure to produce darker images.
Nigh time Photos/Videos appear too light:

You will achieve the best results if the subject is within the ideal flash range.
Anything closer than 3m (inside the 10º angle) will appear too light.

Ensure that you have not set the Spydercam up in such a way that light will reflect
back from a painted wall.
Day time Photos/Videos appear too light:

Ensure that the Spydercam is not aimed directly into the sun or other light sources,
since it may cause the auto exposure to produce bright images.
