What is the best setting for night time pics
922020
I set mine on the highest resolution and I have always had good night pictures

I keep mine set on the highest resolution with a 30 sec delay on three shot burst, and the truth cams are my favorite out of all that I have!

I would highly recommend the Coolpix p520. Great with low-light. I was able to take amazing pics both inside and out during night trips. I really love taking pics of nature. The flash feature is also a plus. Hope this helped.

Yes. Dusk to dawn is just one of the settings / functions. How it determines light availablity is that it takes a picture at a certain interval to sense light or dark. When it senses that conditions are right, it goes back to taking pics at its set interval. You can also set it to take a picture every 2 seconds or whatever your preference is 24/7. You can also set on and off times manual. Caution: I bought mine in August. I was trying to catch a thief. I set mine to take a pic at 2 sec. intervals. When I reviewed the "video," it stopped playing and froze...a glitch in the software. Luckily I kept the file. I called the company and found that my camera did not ship with the latest software version, 4.5 I think. Once I did the free update, the video played through and we caught our thief. E-mailed the stills to the state police and off they went.

I have yet to try this camera at night. It does, however, work well in low light conditions. I would say that the range for good images is around 15 feet, but this camera does not have the same high resolution as a normal point and shoot.

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...

I have not tried night-time recording, but I will now that you mentioned it. My experience with poor quality in low light is in my basement. I have two lamps with 60-watt bulbs in a fair-sized room. The result is a grainy image and inconsistent color rendering.

Use a tripod and have multiple batteries it should work fine. There will be a slight color distortion is shot during the day, but at night as with all full spectrum cameras you really need good lights to use with it.

Hi Nolan, this Sony HDRCX900/B has a Night Shot feature which emits infrared light to take images on a total darkness. -Ely

You need a dark room for the best picture. When I had this projector I tended to only use it at night.

This is the best camera for low light conditions. Pictures come up sharp and brighter than what you are actually looking at. It's like magic!

The camera is very compact. Takes very nice pictures when there is good light. Battery life is good. The camera is horrible during late afternoon, night and low light conditions.

Daytime, if conditions are perfect and vehicle isn't too far away. Nighttime, no, plate reflects too much light back. Camera is really good during the day and night though.

Try various settings/use a good tri-pod and take the photos at dusk when there is less contrast. worked for me on auto mode.

Good Question. As I have written in my review posted below, no real user guide to help. I have not used the camera at night as of yet. It may actually make the transition to night mode as it senses the decrease in available light. From my Post: "It is not so much that I have any real problems with the camera's performance (for the price), it's that you are left to suffer much trial and error in figuring the thing out because there is no real "User Guide." Oh you get one. but it is more like a "Quick Reference" guide that you would use after you have read a real one. The camera design employs multi-use buttons. No real manual, no helps, Very disappointed with that!" Good Question. As I have written in my review posted below, no real user guide to help. I have not used the camera at night as of yet.

That's a very vague question. Unlocking ISF Day and Night modes in the professional menu are the most flexible settings if you're a tweaker. Cnet's review has a calibration setting that you can try (I think it's in custom mode) as well. Enjoy!

.05 lux at night in black and white. Very good image under typical street light / porch light illumination. Color image stays clear to quite low daylight levels (early dawn, late dusk). Camera is also sensitive to IR at night if you have an IR light source (it does not include IR light source).
