Does this camera have the ability to 'lock' in an exposure for video? In other words, not change if lighting conditions change ?

the recorded video and the on-screen stream are affected by the degree of light exposure. Not only the brightness degree but also affect the colours.

It has continuous shooting if you hold down the shutter button. It's not too quick but it's effective. I like mine!

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".

You can do both picture or switch to video with a touch of a button, had it in rain and dropped it a few times works great still!

You can take still photos while filming by just pressing a button although that function is disabled if you're filming in the highest setting

Yes, you can switch back and forth between still and video. The buttons and knobs on the case match those on the camera and the switch is easy to do.

The only lock option is for shutter release, you can create long exposure by keeping it open. There is no "flash lock" function.

Yes, simply hold down the button on the controller for about 1-2 seconds and let go, but with mine I've notice that it doesn't stay locked for long especially with long exposer time lapse photos, for example: 30 second exposer over a period of an hour, it only took about 3-4 photos every time, I eventually had to babysit the shutter release and my camera to make sure it was actually taking the photos... It could be just mine that's defective... Still works great though!

I use bulb setting as well. This feature works best when you have a remote that is capable of being locked so you don't have to personally hold open the shutter for the duration of the shot.

Yes, the camera works fine in normal light conditions. Don't expect amazing quality however. This model offers video recording only, not FPV.

The button locks (in fact, some times by accident) but I haven't tried long exposure modes.

Yes and no. You can set the SmartGuard to not light up during the day when the sensor detects movement but the camera will still record. I'm not sure if you can set the SmartGuard to only record at night without the light, which doesn't seem practical since there might not be enough light for the camera to capture a picture without the light at night.

Not that we're aware of. We just recently bought the camera and haven't used it much. It does have a time-delayed option -- as in setting up the camera for a shot and joining in the picture. But not a time-elapsed feature that we know of. cj

Yes, but... In move mode mirror is lifted up. If you press photo capture button, camera will lower mirror, adjust focus and exposure, lift up mirror back and finally capture image...then will continue roll your movie. It will make about 1-2 second gap in move sequence (kind of disappointing). You dont have to switch modes.

I have not yet tested that feature unfortunately. The camera was a gift to my mom and I am still at the level of teaching her how to use the basic features before moving to the next level

I did not have to change any settings with my camera. Mine works great. It could be that you got one that is deffective. It should work.

The answer to your question is an unfortunate "No!". It would have been great had the manufacturer and designers included that feature in what is otherwise a very good camera.
