How is it in low lighting?

Hi there! It works just fine. If you want optimal low light performance, there are many Sony camera models to choose from that features amazing low light capabilities. -Anthony

It works fine, but it is not as good as other cameras that have lighting capabilities or night vision capabilities.

I'm not a camera buff and don't understand the question. If the question is how does it do in low-light conditions without the flash - then, not very good.

I found it to be very good in low light, I used it all the time while shooting in the dark low light environment of the northern California redwood forests. The shots came out very good, but I always shot in Raw, might have something to do with it.

In moderately lit indoor conditions, it looks perfectly fine. The darker you get, the less quality it is (obviously, ;D). For example, I'm in a room with no lights, a single window, on a rainy and cloudy day. The small amount of light coming in is surprisingly enough for the camera to get a decent picture (but I wouldn't want to film anything professionally without first turning on some lights). You can adjust the exposure yourself, which does improve the quality to an extent, but over exposure looks rather funky (on any camera). In the end, it's A-OK for a moderate to poorly lit/naturally lit room. Any darker than that and the camera has trouble focusing and getting decent quality. There are also several pre-set lighting conditions too which are rather useful. Combining those with manually white balancing and adjusting the exposure myself, I was able to greatly increase the quality of the picture compared to the auto-settings. But of course, the camera really is at it's best on a sunny afternoon. The picture quality is great when you're filming outside or in a well lit room. If you have any other questions, feel free to shoot!

I think like 4.0 it is really good in low light. A close second to my Alfa a6000

it doesn't do well in low-light settings but it does do great when there's adequate lighting.

What is "less than optimal light"? Is it indoor lighting? Is it outdoor street lighting? Haven't had a chance to shoot in the night with the weather outside. Indoor, it seems be fine.

it's night performance is WAY better than I expected, it gives a good contrast with noiseless in low light conditions. use a tripod for better results. but keep in mind that you are not using a DSLR.

During daylight hours, it does so very well. When using the IR lighting, there is a lot of glare. I've tried several ways to eliminate it, but so far no luck. I have read where someone blacked out the lights on the camera and used IT illuminators outside, and that worked. I'll be giving that a try myself.

HI. Yes, it's bright enough to use in low or very low light - I hope this helps. ken

It's a little dark in bright light but seeing it hasn't been a problem for me, it is better than most camera's in bright light. The camera seems to be optimized to take pictures outside and in bright light. It takes very poor indoor pictures or pictures with dark lighting.

In that kind of environment, where you're standing in the dark but the kids on stage are lit, it performs very well. In fact, we had a concert at my church a couple weeks ago and I shot in those precise conditions... and the pictures turned out great! Oh... don't be afraid to bump your ISO, even up to 3200, and you should be fine. ヅ

Yes it's great in low light. I've taken pictures in pitch black with the flash and they turned out great!

I have found that it produces acceptable images in fairly low light. I don't try to take pictures in almost total darkness so I have no experience there. Under a full moon it took acceptable pictures of animals in my yard. HTH

It has low light, but not nightshot. The low light is pretty decent though.

It performs very well in low light, but not in a total darkness. It is not weatherproof.
