[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 487916, member: 12496"] Well, it is underexposed. The camera is set to Manual, so it will not be automatic exposure, that becomes your job in Manual. Try camera A mode mode once, to see what it does there (both settings and results). First choice in dim light would be a slower shutter speed, 1/30 second. This light level also probably needs more ISO, or wider aperture. More ISO should not be bad at a reasonable higher ISO. Reasonable ISO is higher than you might think. Noise is less problem in video than in still pictures, we only see each frame for 1/30 second. This noise will always "look better" if the image is properly exposed. Noise is signal to noise ratio, and if the signal (the lighting) is low, that makes noise be relatively stronger. Stronger proper exposure makes the noise go down (by covering it up). Of course, we can also add more lights to a dim scene to be videoed. [/QUOTE]
