is there a light that can be attached to it for nighttime recording? or is there a "nightime" filter that adds light to the shot?

No. Until now the producer doesn't offer any attachable light to improve recording. Maybe there's any flashlight or something that you can screw to the tripod attachment.
1985403
no, and no. It does have a "concert mode', which seems to handle certain low lighting situations.

There is no nighttime mode. As for lights you can attach an extra shoe mount and put a light on that.

Nope, you can only use it in the day time as the light sensors wont allow it to properly attach to your camera at night

That depends - how dark a night are you filming in? Is there any other source of light on the subjects being filmed? How far away is the subject being filmed? This is not a camera designed for very low light situations - there are others (much more expensive) that do that if that is your primary need.

Daytime photos/video are great. However, night time would be a problem...the quality is not good.... I would not recommend it for that purpose.....hope I helped answer your concerns...

No. Just setting for low light filming, which IMO are very good even when there is minimal light.

Indoor shots and dark night outside photos came out great. This camera has a night setting.

Unfortunately, there is a power cord for the infrared lamp. HOWEVER if you set the camera up near a light source at night - it will pick up motion. I have a motion detector light and I mounted my camera near it so that I wouldn't have to use the infrared lamp. Save money - but the regular add-on motion camera, set up near a light source and you'll have your night time covered.

Yes it has Night Shot. The physical Night Shot button to turn it on and off is on the side of the camera, under the display screen.

No. You need a night vision camera to have this make any difference. An IR filter will remove IR light, this lamp produces IR light. I strongly suggest not trying to modify a non-night vision camera to be night vision. Night vision cameras are inexpensive these days. Get one made to see in the dark.

The camera has the ability to shoot exceptional photos in low light conditions such as dusk in the evening. It has a built-in flash and a hot shoe to use to add light to the subject.

You would need a very bright IR source to do any kind of night shooting. Usually I need full sunlight to take any pictures with this filter.

I have a cannon slr as my primary camera, so we didn't use this one at night. It was basically to use in water.Nice to have though.

It has a bulb exposure -- you can press a button and lock it for a curtain amount of time. It doesn't have a timer, but yes you can do night sky shots with it.

It does have both. I haven't had trouble with low light/night photography. It focuses way faster than the 18-55mm.

No this camcorder does not have night shooting capabilities. It does very well in low light conditions though. I have recorded street scenes very successfully with nothing more than the street lights themselves.

I would personally want a lot more light for video. I think this is better for still shots with a camera on a tripod and a slow shutter speed.

Yes and no. The camera has a set of IR LEDs that allow it to see at night. You will have not be able to see what is going on at night unless you do what I did and tape off the LEDs using black electrical tape. What happens is the IRs hit the glass and at night it acts like a mirror and blinds the camera. Without the LEDs it works fine during the day and at night it works decently with ambient/porch light. You could also get an IR LED array for fairly cheap here off amazon and point that into your yard as well. That way it would have pretty good B&W; night vision.
