Does the Panasonic V 100K camcorder come with a built in, low level/night shooting light, or a mount for an external light?

Sorry...I bought as a gift for someone but I am sure if you Google Panasonic they will give you an 800 # to call and ask and I am sure they will have all the info for you

No. I believe you will need special light for video, their latest flash has video lighting capabilities.

Only the LCD is built-in. You can buy and accessory External Live View Finder -- Panasonic DMW-LVF2 External Live View Finder for DMC-GX1, DMC-LX7 Cameras (Black) -. I have one and it's very useful. Much better than the one that was available for the GF-1.

As others have said, this camera comes with a built-in flash. It has no hot shoe or accessory port to utilize an external flash. That is a real shame and big count against this camera. While the built-in flash in convenient, it is weak and gives only point-and-shoot style lighting (ie. "deer-in-headlights" lighting). External flashes allow you to bounce light off the ceiling/walls, giving a more pleasant and natural lighting. In this sense, it falls short of a real SLR.

I've checked several websites that previewed the PJ650v. Apparently it does feature Night Shot, aside from the bigger model PJ790v. Although I don't see the assigned Night Shot button on the unit, it might be a feature in the menu selection. Might be worth emailing Sony to see if it does officially have it.

The 6th picture is showing the external power port. The unit comes with a lighter plug cord. I use mine on the batteries, they have lasted about a year each time. The cord would be good for nighttime, if you want the backlight to stay on constantly. The mount attaches in the center of the back. Hope this helps.

No it does not. This camera and others with IR lights on them only reflect light on the front window making the video even worse. To get good night time video you want a camera with WDR or Wide Dynamic Range or something close to WDR like HDR. If you are on a budget I wouldn't buy anything cheaper then a G1W here on Amazon ASIN B00FONBG1A or if you want a really nice camera I would look at something from VicoVation like the WF1 or Marcus 1

It does not have IR night vision built in, but we do offer an external IR lamp ($149) that you can use indirectly - e.g. place it behind a piece of furniture and point it up the wall toward the ceiling. Since the camera does have an IR cut filter, it will, in the camera's perspective, "light up" the room so the camera can see in the dark.

I simple night light will give all the light the cam needs to give a picture. You can even get a Mr. Beams motion activated light on Amazon. They are in a weatherproof housing and run on 3 d-cell batteries for $20. I mounted one on my dock last September. It still lights up bright, only at night, And is on the original set of batteries.

Yes, I just got mine. Going to shoot some video tests this weekend with it. It has good low-light abilities.

I do not think it has night shot. However, it has a night or low light setting in the auto mode. I have been satisfied with the quality of videos shot in low light.

It has a built in light that you can turn on for night vision. It is different from night shot on previous cameras

I have been able to see nighttime shots but they are quite grainy as would be expected. IT does recognize movement and take video when there is no light, yes.

Hi Andrew, The camcorder has a Night Scene mode to shoot Night scenery but doesn't have night vision. - Vincent

No, but the backup lights on my Expedition prove plenty of light to see at night. The camera has a fantastic color resolution! It's small size makes it look like a factory installation.

It's called a LENS HOOD. It is included inside the box on Sony's HDR-CX760V. I find it essential when filming outside to deflect bright sunlight against the lens glass surface. However, I take it off for inside and evening/dark filming.
