...just picked up a Canon Optura 50 Mini DV cam, and was wondering if anyone had any insight on what shutter speed I should set it at when I tape in a dark bar. The cam in question has a "Night" setting, but I can also set the shutter speed manually (1/8, 1/15 and 1/30, whatever those mean). Should I just go with the Night setting, and forget messing with shutter speed? Should I do both?
I've never attempted video, but have taped in the club in question many times...it's kind of a hole...really dark, save for a row of stage lights (maybe two rows, but no more).
If someone uses this cam, or can give me any general pointes, I'd love to hear em.
thank ya
