QuestionI have seen some comments about poor low light performance. I would be using this cam to record band performances on stage in concert and nightclubs. There will be stage lighting. Do you think that will be enough for good vids ?
Asked 8 years ago by pharpo.
- Answer I tried recording at a Halloween party using the 1080p@60fps XAVC-S format. The picture was grainy but was nicely in focus. Recording a live band indoors without supplemental lighting is a big challenge. You could try using 1080p@30fps that might let the camera use a slower shutter speed and clear up the graininess. This camera has very clear video in bright lighting conditions.

QuestionI am taking three hour classes and would like to record the lectures. Will the camcorder record for that long?
Asked 8 years ago by Dominique.
- Answer If you can plug into an outlet and use a 32 gb SD card you can record for 240 mins (standard def) or 160 mins (high def). If you can't plug into a wall outlet the battery is only good for about 115 minutes of continuous recording and you'd have to have a second battery and change it out to get 3 hours.
