Lighting Techniques

When you use your camcorder, there are only two possible recording environments.
- You will be recording outdoors (Normal recording or through an ND(Neutral Density) filter).
- You will be recording indoors (Video light recommended or required).
The single greatest influence on picture quality is the level of brightness, measured in lux.
The following table lists a few common situations, the corresponding level of brightness and any associated recommendations.
Situations
Snow-covered mountains or fields.
Sandy beach on a hot summer's day
On a sunny day in the middle
of the afternoon.
On a gloomy day, an hour
after the sunrise.
Office with fluorescent
lighting near to a window.
On a sunny day, an hour
before the sunset.
