Low light or poorly lit interiors provide a real filming challenge for any camcorder. By making the best use of accessories you can create stunning movies with your Handycam® and really capture the atmosphere and detail at sunset, twilight or inside any dimly lit venue.

Attach a light for more colour & detail

Attach a video light and it will illuminate subjects during filming. It allows the clever video camera technology inside a Handycam® to capture more detail especially when subjects are backlit or in shadow.

Use a tripod for less blur & image noise

Set a camcorder on a tripod and you will steady it so you can view subjects clearly close up with no blur or shake. It’s a great way to capture fast-paced action and close-up zoom shots on your Handycam®.
