How to take better night shots by HDR video camera?

3 Tips for better night shots on Point and Shoot camera

1. Larger Apeture ( (f-stops): f1.4 DOUBLES the light tan f2.0

Diagram of decreasing apertures, that is, increasing f-numbers, in one-stop increments; each aperture has half the light gathering area of the previous one. ( via Wikipedia)

2. Slower Shutter speed : ( 1/125 sec is faster than 1/60 sec)

Longer shutter speeds will bring in more light.  But chances are if you’re recording out field at night time, there’s barely no light.  What may happen is the sensor on your camera will have the Benchmark it needs in the aperture settings to have the enough exposure to be well developed.

3. Fiddling the ISO ( The bigger the ISO, More Gains  you gets)

It’s controversial.  Ordinary Point and Shoot cameras don’t often have the same noise reduction capabilities of their larger brethren (although they are constantly evolving) and this makes for some fairly grainy shots past ISO400.  Some people like this, some don’t

Furthermore, One of the biggest challenges of night shots is the mix of the dark and point lights ( e.g. Street lamps, car head lights).  It will be really difficult even for the DSLRs to handles the situations like this.  Two choices here: Post Processing or HDR.

Post Processing:

Thanks to the rapid development of the Software and hardware rendering and animation technologies adopted by Hollywood film pioneers. The Post processing fulfilled by both software and hardware has been a pretty effective approach. The only problem is the money and time required ( sounds CRAP…I know)

HDR:

High dynamic range had no doubts been widely supported by Surveillance camera manufactures ( Home security industry) till the big boom of the smart phone business just now. The mobile phone camera has the biggest boost for the fast deployment of the HDR cameras worldwide. Everything looks cool except for the Mega Pixels war on the smartphone. HTC was remembered to be the 1st major phone camera company to fight against this crazy higher resolutions competition by adopting the more reasonable way of ” UltraPixel”–Pixel “size” matters,  not just only the number of Pixel.

It’s the perfect solution no matter it’s too bright or too dark or even both, The HDR sensor is the one to See the Unseen.

Brinno camera is supposed to be the first camera company to focus on the fusion of HDR & Pixel Size
