[QUOTE="480sparky, post: 458625, member: 15805"] It most likely stems from your not taking the time to learn how to use the camera in the lighting situation you were in. I have no experience with that camera, but it probably would perform well if it were set up correctly. As MM said, manual control would be the best, coupled with knowing how to set the camera based on the lighting situation. You were probably shooting bright dancers against a black or dark background. The dancers took up a very small portion of the frame, while the background comprised the bulk of the video's real estate area. The camera will tend to look at that and, according to it's programming, see a large dark image. So it will automatically increase exposure in an attempt to balance out all the dark areas. [/QUOTE]
