Does this device provide continuous light for video uses!!?

Yes, it does... It is NOT a flash, which is why I bought it for my wife. :-/

Yes, it is continuous but it's somewhat intense for close ups. At the right distance it would work well for video.

It's not a flash, but a continuous light. And since it's not a flash, it doesn't provide an extremely high amount of light. I've never used it for video, only for Macro shots.

Yes it does provide for continual light however i've noticed that long usage, more than an hour or two results in a gradual dimming of the light. I'd advise getting the AC adapter if you're going to be doing any lengthy video.

I use it for micro shots on my Nikon D3000. I'm sure it will because it is continuous (bright) light. You can use 2 AA batteries or wall outlet. Hope this was helpful.

It does, but I wouldn't recommend it for video. It is designed for macro photography. My recommendation would be to do some research into lighting systems.

Yes. It has the option to simultaneously flash and provide a steady light. Although in this mode the light is on at a regular brightness. We use this mode for riding at dusk, but I prefer to kick it up to the brighter light when riding later.

I have only used both of my cameras on video mode.On video mode,the LEDs glow red of course for the duration of the length of the video.I have not seen these cams preform at night on single picture mode so this may not be a good answer for you......................

No! It only works well in a very darkened room with very little background light. It just does not put out enough lumens for lighted room use.

It depends. If you keep the video on the whole time, the battery will drain quickly. Try Turing the video off and see if that helps. If not, then yes, that might be a defective unit.

No it does have that specifically. You can turn the video off and then when it picks up enough noise it turns the video on. There is a ring indicator that changes color depending on the noise it picks up.

This camcorder does not have a built in light. It has built in flash, but you are correct, it fires only when you take still pictures. One can buy an external light if needed. It's called the VL-5 Video Light http://www.amazon.com/Canon-VL-5-Video-Light-Accessory/dp/B001DYLNIU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=photo&qid=1235271303&sr=1-1

This is not a flash. This is a video LED light that has a control on the light that adjust the intensity.

yes, I have a link of a video I shot using these lights..https://vimeo.com/100784691, (@ 33 seconds)

Yes, you should be able to use for video as the light is constant (not a flash). Depending on what you're shooting, you may want to get more than one to fill in shadows; and you'll definitely want to have extension cords. The cords included are not very long...they barely reach the ground if you have the unit extended all the way.

Probably not. We use it for "green screen" videos, but if I remember correctly, gym lights, for example, will shine through.

It's a portable video camera with no built-in light nor adjustable aperture or ISO, in short it does not work well on low light condition. Low light photography requires flashes if you need a bright image and the same is true with low light videography. Don't expect a crisp image/video if you're shooting in low light condition without using a separate light setup. Search YouTube for shooting rigs for this video camera and you will notice that everyone that uses this camera semi professionally have external lighting setup. This is not a camera for you if you will use this for low light videography unless you use an external light source or upgrade to a professional video camera with changeable lens and built in light.

The video and camera do not work well in low light. You think you have good lighting but, it has to have lot's of light. In the day time you get great video and pictures. I use a flash light at night ( Mag. Light LED ) to light up what I need at night. Works well. The audio is very good. The wide angle is very nice. I would say a 45 degree angle to each side. The Muvi is a very nice tool for me. The cost is very low. I work Security and I would not want to work with out it.

The light has no interaction with your camera. It simply turns on and off with a switch. So, yes. Note that for still shots, it also lights up, but does not "flash".

Yes, it has good capability to capture photo at night during video capture simultaniously. I was in a indoor function, my battery was down for my still camera. i took photo using this. it was good. But dont expect like a SLR one.

It does have an led light that can be set to turn automaticly or manually but its only effective for a distance of six feet or less when recording at hi def (1080P).Havn't tried it on other settings.

yes, although the quality isnt so great but ive augmented it with a video light which i likewise purchased in amazon
