lister55 0 #2 April 8, 2004 Are you using a wide angle lense with the night vision? If so this is the problem. Try it with and without the wide angle and you will see what I am talking about. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Faber 0 #3 April 8, 2004 i know what your talking about,and yes i use the wideangel,which i also does at the pc2,didnt tryed it whithout,but it should be the same difference right... just wondered if any noticed the same.. By the wideangel you will always get a more rugh picture by nightvision,and the Lens most time(unless you use thouse small lenses)will could be seen in the pic(it cover some of that "light"). At my pc105 i can barly see anything...lastweekend we PCA´d a teddybear off 7thfloor(it landed safly,no worryes),inside a big city whith loads of lifght arround but still videoed on nightvision,but we could never see a thing on the video(so actualy it never happened).

lister55 0 #4 April 8, 2004 From my experience with night vision on the PC-101, which in respect to night vision recording is pretty similar. I have found that with the wide angle lense, the light that the camera emitts does not use a wide enough spread. The light beam it projects is extremely narrow. Thus with the wide angle lense on, the viewable picture created from the wide angle lense goes outside of this light beam projected from the camera. Really, night vision works best with an external source of a low level light. Sony actually sells an external "night vision" light that projects a light beam that is wider and goes farther to help compensate for this problem. Like I said before, you really need to take off the wide angle lense if you are going to shoot night vision. Remeber, the wider the angle, the more pronounced this effect will be.

Faber 0 #5 April 8, 2004 my problem is that the beam aint as strong as on the older camera(not the wide,but the distance) Stay safe Stefan Faber Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lister55 0 #6 April 8, 2004 Yeah I have not had much luck with the night vision on my camera either. If I want to shoot at night I usually take a flashlight with me. I wonder why Sony would take something good and make it worse. Frustrating aint it..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
