MOVIE SHOOTING TIPS:
• Movie Quality: The overall color and fidelity of your movies will vary by the
amount and quality of light in the scene you’re shooting. While this is
almost never an issue when shooting outdoors in bright light, a dimly light
room indoors will not record colorful movies. We suggest you “brighten” the
scene by either turning on more lights in the room or using a Video LED
Light for extra light in the scene.
• IR Night Vision Lighting: The camera has a built in Infra-Red light that
allows for movies to be shot in total darkness. IR Mode movies are in black
and white only. To use this feature, press the big silver button (Power
button) on the left side of the camera once. You will not see the IR red light
come on as IR lights are invisible to the naked eye. Remember to turn it off
when not in use as the movies will be shot in black and white, and the
battery will discharge more rapidly than in other modes.
