"Let’s talk about consumer camcorders. How important is lighting? Lighting is one of the most significant things to increase picture quality. If you have no light you have no picture. With low light you may have a grainy picture because the circuitry has to amplify that signal. So if you can setup some lighting turn on light, open windows, go outside that’s great. Also think about when you are shooting you don’t want people squinting or if the light behind them is really bright. You’re going to have the subject darker. So just be thinking about and what you want. Now if the picture is really important you’re not going to care you’re going to start shooting that’s good. This camera has a light built in to it. So if you really have a need you can just push the button and have a light come on and now put enough light on the subject to be able to at least see it. Now these will get warm, they will actually get hot, so what you want to do is be sure to turn it off when you are not using it and it really drains the battery that’s on here."
