A:Answer It's actually great in low-light conditions, i.e. natural light coming from a side window, or in front of subject facing cam. Of course it'll look better w/proper lighting, but w/its auto setting/adjustments, it handles even a night record indoors w/a regular lamp-stand light as only source. One great one I like is a very bright sunlight through a window, & w/certain drapes like a thin white type closed, so there's a soft & diffused fill light! I've tested it while in a shadow during self-portrait mode (display panel flipped for monitor), though obvious shadow, I switched on an adjacent older cam. w/a small light on. This model adjusted to that w/impressive results!
