If you are like most camcorder owners, you have come to find that many of your recordings will take place in low-light. I’m sure you are frustrated by your results. However, here are a few tricks to recording in low-light conditions. The easiest solution is using the flash on your camcorder. I know it sounds simple, but there a great number of camcorder owners who wouldn’t even think of this.
Most camcorders today come with a built-in flash. The first thing you want to do is to check your owner’s manual or your camcorder. If it doesn’t have a built in flash, you can purchase one at your local camera shop. Once you have determined you have a built-in flash, the next step is to check the flash settings. In some camcorders this comes up on the screen, for others, it may be located on the camera itself. Usually, there is a menu with options. The settings for the flash are in general are on, off, auto and manual. Most camcorder owners will use the auto setting. The more you comfortable you become with the flash, you may start switching to manual. You should also consider how bright your flash’s light is. It is always a good idea to test the flash before events if you can, so you can get perfect shots at events like weddings.
Another feature with the flash is a light-mode setting, which aids in determining what type of light you are recording in. These settings allow you to set them for indoor or outdoor light. It can be a very handy feature. Some camcorders also have a setting to reduce those horrible red eyes you can get when recording, so be sure to check your menu of options.
Here are a few final tips to remember when recording in low light:
- Check your camcorder for a built in flash
- If you have a built in flash check your settings
- Practice if you can in the area you will be recording
- Check for any additional settings your flash may have
