Hey guys, just a quick question. I took a test video of the camera I have. Nothing special just something to mess around with for now. It all looks okay in solid light like when the sun shines through the window and lights up the room. As soon as its slightly dark, the footage is grainy(Not really sure what that means but I assume its where the footage appears more pixelized almost as if static is trying to break through the images). I assume by setting up a couple lights to capture footage in darker areas is the remedy, correct?
My question is how can I capture darker footage while not getting that grainy effect?
The topic question about zoom is probably pretty simple but I just wanted to know, how can I make the zoom smoother? I press it over to zoom all the way in and it jumps in one measure then shoots in smooth. How can I get rid of that initial jump? Same thing when I zoom out... do other, better, cameras have a smoother zoom?
And just a quick thing about light. I was on someone(camera not me physically) that was sitting in front of the window where the light that made everything appear fine was coming in. When I was looking back at the footage he appears to be glowing white. Is this a white balance issue? Too much sunlight directly hitting the lens?
And last but not least, the audio... I can hear myself or who ever is holding the camera fine but as far as a couple feet in front of the camera, the voices are inaudible. Would setting up a mic or audio recording fix that? Are there any cameras that have great stock audio capture?
I know its long but I appreciate any responses. Thanks.
