    Default Black circle over sun on PoV cameras

    Have you guys noticed this? On just about any PoV camera (e.g. GoPro) there are black dots over where the sun should be. What's the reason for this?

    If you don't know what I'm talking about, look at this video. Look for the black dot in the sky where the sun should be.


    This too. Pause at 0:21 and look at the sun.



    Don't kill me for them being Munkae videos- I'm not advertising, I just wanted to point this out and these were the first ones that I remembered which had this.

    It's cause gods in front of the sun flashing you at all times. But he's puting the black dot over so he doesn't offend the censors.

    that is not the sun you are seeing my friend...

    GoPros are famous for attracting rare UFO activity. it seems that they give off an electromagnetic field that acts like a magnet to otherworldly spacecraft. on a clear day you can pretty much guarantee filming one.
    you just highlighted my signature for no reason other than it consists of a empty space. good for you!

    Oh, it was overexposure. That's what I figured, but I was hoping there was a chance that there really were UFOs or Sun Gods flashing us.

    Oh well, maybe someday.

    It appears your sarcasm detector needs to be re-calibrated, my friend.

    There's a racist conspiracy to keep people from knowing about this.
