When your stream appears improperly exposed with crushed shadows or blown-out highlights, this indicates your camera's exposure triangle needs adjustment combined with proper lighting setup and software configuration.
1. Adjust camera exposure fundamentals
• Master the exposure triangle: aperture, shutter speed, and ISO settings
• Ensure proper balance between these three elements for correct exposure
• Use your camera's histogram or zebra patterns to guide exposure decisions
• Avoid auto modes that can cause inconsistent exposure during streams
2. Optimise your lighting setup
• Adjust light intensity and positioning after camera settings are correct
• Use three-point lighting to create balanced illumination without hotspots
• Consider adding fill lights for dark areas or diffusers for harsh highlights
• Ensure lights are properly angled to avoid lens flare or direct reflections
3. Check Live Studio source settings
• Verify your camera source exposure settings within TikTok Live Studio
• Avoid excessive digital exposure compensation in software
• Reset to default if uncertain and make gradual adjustments, default settings typically provide the most reliable starting point
4. Professional exposure calibration
• If exposure issues persist despite basic adjustments
• Contact AuraGabriel for remote camera configuration assistance
• We can provide custom exposure profiles for your specific setup
• Professional calibration ensures consistent exposure across all conditions
