My 2 Cents

The videos below come in around 8 MB total so they may take a few moments to load. If you’re looking for samples of Low Light Video from Panasonic HDC-SD9 these should answer a lot of your questions. The first shows just how poor it can get if it’s too dark. The second actually looks pretty good. You decide.

The first video was taken with the following settings
HA1920
24P Digital Cinema on
Low Light Mode ON

The first video below was taken with My HDC-SD9 at approximately 8:30 pm on July 18th. It was not nearly as dark out as this video looks.

Neither the sun or moon was out at the time this video was taken. There was a slight amount of Ambient light from the street lights but it was not very bright at all.

This second video was taken a little earlier in the evening on July 5th. We were at the fair so there was quite a bit of ambient light.

The video was taken on a moving ferris wheel with Low Light mode and Image Stabilization on. I don’t really remember the rest of the settings. This one actually comes out much better.

I’m getting a descent amount of traffic to this site from search engines where people are specifically looking for video samples of the HDC-SD9 low light capabilities.

I don’t have any samples right now but I’ll try to take the camera out tonight and make some Low Light Video Samples for you.

Check back here in the next day or two and I’ll have something for you in MPEG2 format.
