Help Canon600D

[Marianp]

Doe aan astrofotografie al een tijdje. Plotseling zijn mijn Isowaardes tussen 100 en 6200 te donker (zelfs overdag donkere foto's) Alle instellingen gebrobeerd en zelfs fabrieks instellingen ingesteld. Alle persoonlijke instellingen gewist.

Het vreemde is dat hij bij filmen wel genoeg licht geeft. Ik kan niet vinden wat het probleem is. Help? DAnk U!

"You did reset to Canon factory defaults?"

It is fruitless for everyone to 'guess' what may have been set wrong or whether your camera is faulty until you have reset it to factory defaault.  After you get it reset then you really do need to read and understand how to set things. You will then know if you did do something.  But reset it first.

Resetted several times. Did not work. Somebody advised me to leave the battery out for a week. 
What surprises me is that when I put the video on, I DO have enough light.

What are the exposure settings when you are "filming" the night sky?

[Marianp]

Honestly I just tried during daytime. Getting dark pictures and the video is perfect. Unfortunately in Holland clear skies are very rare and you have act very quick, not enough time to experience.
Pictures of the moon are perfect (enough light) that I know. But pictures farther away too dark. Videos I did not try as I have to align my telescope with 3 pictures first in order to find other planets

PS: so I have to get it right in daytime first

Gonna repeat this..........

Yea you're so right. I tried for days and will continue. Thanks

You only have to reset once. If you have reset and can't get the camera to go toI SO 6400 in Program mode there is something wrong. Do you have a service center near you or a phone number for Canon support?

I'm speaking a bit out of turn, because I don't have that camera. But my recollection is that on cameras that have an extra optional ISO jump, that feature is not turned on by default. So resetting to factory settings might not be enough. I think the OP has to consult the manual.

I initially thought that as well, but I checked manual on line and 6400 is in standard range. 12800 is extended ISO.
