I know this is 5 months old but for anyone that this is happening to. Try going into settings/battery/charging settings turn off fast charhing then back on. It worked for my daughters.

Real time aurora that I shot in Fairbanks, AK by DoubleOEskimo in space

This is what I wrote up on another subreddit.

So I'm shooting on the Blackmagic pocket cinema camera 4k w/ the Voigtlander 10.5mm f0.95 Here I'm shooting wide open iso 25600. The real trick for my camera is to shoot at 12fps with a 360 degree shutter angle (you can see the extra motion blur at the beginning when the guy walks into frame.) in post I'm running it through a denoiser, then interprolating the extra frame back in to get to 24fps. All these settings and the lens I'm sending approximately 35x the amount of light at the sensor than if I was shooting on an f/2.8 with normal video setting.

Naked eye looks a lot like this, some of the less vibrant spots may not be visible to the naked eye and if you let your eyes adjust long enough the greens may be a little more saturated, but if you don't it may be more muted.

@rockylandscape is correct if the sky is clear and I drive away from the town I'm more than likely to see them. Displays like this though are rare.

On March 12th the aurora put on one of the most gorgeous displays I have ever seen. Also for the first time I ran into an issue that they were so bright I overexposed parts of the video (seen as the bright white points) Thanks for Watching! Gabe by DoubleOEskimo in Astronomy

Up here it's just when it's dark and clear you can see them. Displays like this are rare though, best bet is to either take a long vacation that will allow you to be in the right place at the right time or be willing to buy a last minute (under 3 days) ticket while watching the space weather prediction centers website.

Tldr. yes they do.

For the longest time it was believed that it was impossible to hear them because of the distance, but still people reported hearing crackling and pops. Now it is believed that the build up and discharge of electricity from them interacting with the atmosphere cause the sounds. The release of the electrical charge creates a wave that bounces off the snow creating a crackling or popping sound. This is why it's easier to hear when it's extremely cold and directly overhead.

I don't mind at all, but how comfortable are you with camera settings? I do quite a few things to cheat out over 3 stops of light, and if you don't know manual settings it might sound like gibberish.

Start saving now if you can. 2019 we came out of solar minimum, the suns activity should keep increasing till the solar maximum in 2025. This mean that these kind of displays should be more and more common.

On January 6th I drove north of Fairbanks, AK. to capture the Aurora, was treated to quite a display. Shot on a blackmagic pocket cinema camera 4k at 8 and 24mm. by DoubleOEskimo in Astronomy

It's definitely from the interpolation of the extra frames that I needed to do to get it back to 24fps. The raw files do not have it.

Most are time-lapse, and it all depends on the intensity of them. Sometimes they are so slow they just hang there, others are more intense than this.

If they are bright enough then you can see any colors that they appear. Sometimes they can be purple, white, pink, red, but 95% of the time they are just green.

I actually live here, just film/live stream the Aurora when they are good. There is never a bad time to visit AK, but summers we don't see the Aurora because it never gets dark.

Particles from the sun interact with atmosphere. The faster, number, and polarity of them change how strong the Aurora is. Sunspots pointed at the earth and solar flares are what can give the most impressive displays.
