What are the ideal settings to record great video in low light conditions on my Canon Vixia HG20 camera?




Raj


Love my Canon Vixia HG20 - except low-light is less than superior. Any suggestions would be approciated.


Answer
Rick is correct.

There is no consumer-grade camcorder that does well in "low light". The lenses and imaging chips are too small.

If you stay with that camcorder, then the suggestion is to turn on lights or use a video light.

If you need good low-light performance, then you must use a camcorder with bigger lenses and imaging chips (preferably in a 3-chip - CCD or CMOS - array). Big lenses allow more light in; big imaging chips do more with less light. Big glass and big chips are expensive - but the low light behavior is what draws the prosumer and professional users to them. If inexpensive consumer cams did well in low-light, the pros would be using them.

Which decent camera would I use to record a youtube video?
