But, if you expose for the face, the background with be blown out. So keep your framing tight too.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/recommended-settings-for-lighting-on-sony-dcr-vs2000#post-47575 Fri, 05 Jun 2009 13:21:06 +0000 Cyberlink 47575@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>The DCR-VX2000 has automatic and manual settings.  In your case I would manually adjust the light level.  To do this you must first switch the small slider in the back of the camera into the middle position (see page 43 of your manual).  Page 44 of your manual explains the rest...</p> <p>Be sure to practice before you go.  The VX2000 is a great low-light camera... you should be OK.</p> <p> Tom</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/recommended-settings-for-lighting-on-sony-dcr-vs2000#post-47573 Fri, 05 Jun 2009 12:06:23 +0000 oc6088 47573@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I am filming a wedding tomorrow for a friend.  It is being held under an open frame building, which means there is a roof, but no sides to the building.  I went to the rehearsal today and I noticed that everyone's faces were dark because the background (the outside) is so bright and the inside dark.  Basically I am trying to shoot everyone in a shadow.</p> <p>There really isn't the option to have reflectors or extra lights.</p> <p>Any suggestions or ideas on what settings I could at least start with to get me going?  I tried experimenting while there but I think I was panicing and couldn't figure it out.  Normally I shoot corporate videos in a very controlled environment...funny how often I am saying that now!</p> <p> </p> <p>Thank you in advance.</p>
