I'm planning to record a show next week, and unfortunately I don't have any possibilities to do a test run. Does anyone of you have some experience with gain? Do I need it or not? The show will take place at night, but there will be many stage lighting.
The cam I'll use is a JVC GR-DVX707 with one 1/3,8 ccd chip, whose low light capability isn't one of the worst I guess.
I know that nobody can say "yes, you need it" or "no, you don't", but some experiences can't be bad
