Can anyone tell me why when I pause a replay on a part when my car is spitting flames l, that when I take a photo of it, it isn't? It's really bugging me.

Please help!
 
It's some sort of bug that happens most of the time.
Often the flame doesn't disappear, but is moved into the car.

I noticed that this happens a lot when you already took a photo, go back and take it again (like when you weren't satisfied with a setting).

Any way to fix it? I have a shot, a good one, and it keeps getting rid of the flame.
 
It's nothing to do with a bug IMO.

The flames are splited in a 0.01 of a sec. so it's very difficult to catch the right moment. Sometimes if you put your camera with 1/60 you will catch the back fire but in movment :S If your want more detail you have to increase the (wtf thing I can't remember the name) to 1/125 or more...but that will end in the back fire going to inside of the exhaust pipes.

We need a frame by frame replay pause/rewind/forward :D
 
But if the flames are rendered inside of the car, is is a bug, since they're rendered at the wrong place. ;) It's especially noticeable on cars like the Zonda R, sometimes the flame is inside of the engine bay. :lol:
 
I have 3 separate shots, in 3 different cars, all were they are spitting flames.

None of them translated into photos. What the hell do I do? An what did PD do since the last update? Before that I could take pics with flames no problem. Now I can't.
 
I had that bug since launch, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Also depends on the car and I think the driving speed.
 
There's the problem, try raising the exposure time ( or however its called) the one that has the vaules of 50, 175, 250, 500 etc. and look at the results.
 
The problem is that pictures taken in Photo Mode are actually captured just a split second before the moment when you hit pause. You actually have to hit pause just before the flames go out during the replay when the flames are at the furthest point out of the exhaust pipes, to counteract the whole flames-inside-the-car bug. And contrary to popular belief, the trick is to lower the shutter speed, not to raise it. Well, at least that's how it worked for me.

If it sounds tough, it is. Patience is always a virtue here.
