Recording in Dark Places Without Any
Illumination
(0 Lux Night View Function)
This function is convenient when you want to record at night in
places without any illumination, for example for observing the
behavior of nocturnal animals, etc. In this mode, the Movie
Camera emits infrared rays which makes it possible to record
subjects that are invisible to the naked eye.
