Need help figuring out to record a video at night?




NONAME


So I have a Canon PowerShot S5 IS. I'm going out racoon hunting with some of my friends and I want to record it. But I can't figure out how to do it. Can you even record with it at night at all?? Please Help


Answer
You have a nice P&S camera which happens to have a video feature.

To shoot at night, you will need an actual video camera with an IR feature built-in

Some of the Sony camcorders have that feature.

My guess is you have NO lighting except that of the moon and even a 0 lux video camera cannot record under those conditions.

Jim is totally correct. You need light to expose video, digital sensors or film

how do u make a digital camera have flash while recording a video at night?

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.
