Used two days. Auto darkening fades off while in use. Why?

The only thing I can think of is to Change the time delay to a longer delay.

Yea its a common issue the sensor gets over active in windows 8 at low brightness you can turn off auto brightness under general settings in the windows 8 interface settings

Don't know how to set what? On the outside of the good above the left knob that holds the head piece in controls the shade rating from grind(no shade), and 9-15 (I use 11 for Mig welding). The inside changes how sensitive the auto darkening is. As you move it clock wise, it gets more sensitive to bright lights. Next to that is delay that sets the delay of the auto darkening after seeing bright light. Turning it clockwise increases the delay.

I've had the same issue. I think it may be the result of the pod receiving too much light. Try putting it in a slightly darker area. Or if it's in a room that is always partially lit (like my office at work, for instance) try covering it up at night so it isn't getting light 24/7. Remember that it only needs 8 hours of indirect sunlight/fluorescent lighting per day.

Check to see if the unit is set to gradual blend. This setting can be found in the built in modes tab. If it is turn it off.

I corrected the problem on my camera. To do this, I went to MENU, selected SETUP (third menu on left), then went to page 2. Under LCD MODE, press the right MENU Toggle button. It is probably set to OFF. Set it on the next item down which is a sqare with an A and a star in it. That sets the LCD to the Auto light mode. That took care of my problem. Now when I take a flash it doesn't get dark. In looking at the photos on my computer, the photos looked ok. They weren't dark. It is just a LCD problem. That took care of it for me. Try that one time.

That would be my guess (but i'm no expert). did you put in a new battery or is this the old one? i didn't have any lighting issues, but my battery was new. it did take 24 hours for my security alarm (where i put the new battery) to reset itself, but your issue could be completely different. sorry i can't be more help.

It will darken the color. Once it sets completely it has a nice waxy feel, but this can cause a slight stickyness. For this reason I began using Fiebing's Golden Mink Oil, which I highly recommend. The mink oil causes some darkening too.

You should be able to set the illimination (brightness) on your panel. It can go from dim to no lighting. *6, then code, then the > key (believe it has 3 settings, push the key for desired affect), then # to exit.

Unfortunately they don't cycle through colors through software settings.You have the option of choosing only 1 set color that will fade in and out.For some reason the orange fades into a blood red color before blacking out which is just a cool unintentional effect.

I do a lot of time exposure waterfall pictures and I would be lost without it. In some cases as with all variables there is central and uneven darkening. Use numbered ND filters to over come this. http://fineartamerica.com/profiles/gene-rooney.html?tab=artworkgalleries

I have the exact same problem!!! I've had my camera for over a year now, and haven't found an answer. I bought a pack of film off Amazon and it was crap. I'm not very happy with my camera and I can't figure out how to make them not turn out blue! I've reset the camera, tried different film packs, and nothing!

This seems odd, as I use mine in broad daylight at 50%. Have you checked the display settings? Go to Tools, then Settings, then Display. Do you have the time set up? Need to ensure you are set for daytime.

I've seen mine do that. I think it might have something to do with not using it for a long time. Then if you do somethingwith it, it will go back to full brightness. I supose it has to do with saving battery life. Though running it on the car batterythis wouldn't make much sense. That's the best I can come us with.

ghosting is usually an isue if the machine is left on for long periods of time. make sure to shut down your machine and not leave the screen running. you should take a break after about 2 -3 hours of continued work

I would suggest repositioning it in the room, to make sure moving shadows or some other change in light level isn't causing the unit to think it's becoming dark and changing to night mode. Call V-tech support and see what they say, otherwise, yes, I'd agree the unit is defective.
