SelenaGome


i want to take a video at night in the dark but i dont know how to make it have flash or light while taking the video my camera is polaroid and its digital


Answer
It is not practical to do that.

Flash is only for still pictures, meaning 1 press of the shutter 1 flash, 1 picture, this is called 1 frame. This has to sync with your camera or you don't get a picture. Some cameras can give you a few flashes continuous but this is never used for video.

video needs continuous source of light because video shoots anywhere from 30 frames down to a few frames per second, also depends if your camera has capability to adjust frames per second for video.

For example surveillance camera systems shoot from 1 to 30 frames per second, they are usually set 2 or 5 frames to save on storage space.

flash also needs to recharge between use, usually takes a few seconds for flash to charge up and give that tremendous burst of light for that 1 picture. Better models can recycle the flash faster, it also discharges your batteries really fast.

NV Video camera question about SD cards - How many hours will an 8G SD card record in Night Vision?




Lori


I recently purchased a Bell & Howell Night Vision video camera. I also purchased two 8G SD cards. Does anyone know how many hours of recording they will hold? Thank you!


Answer
Is it the DNV900HD camera? Knowing the exact model would have made it easier to look up the specifications. The Product Description section for this model on Amazon.com indicates that with the maximum amount of memory installed (2x32GB or 64GB of memory) the camera can record "more than 20 hours" of video. You have 1/4 of that amount (16GB), so I expect that you can record at least five hours.

The night vision capability should not make any difference in how much space is needed to record video, but look for settings to change the resolution: lower settings will use less space. I could not find a manual online, but if you have the user's Guide, it may contain information about storage requirements at different settings.
