Sanyo Xacti VPC-CG10 Low Light Test

Testing my Sanyo Xacti VPC-CG10 HD video camera for performance in low light conditions. I manually set the ISO to 50; the camera is set to autofocus (rather than manual focus), and the EV is at 0. All other settings were left at "normal" or "off". The camera is equipped with an 8gb SDHC card, good for 1 hr, 54 minutes of video recording.

Hi, i was checking your description. There is no way in low light to record with ISO 50. Are you sure?

@N35QU1K what setting do you have it in? because mines it looks ugly?

I'm about to buy one of these, and my only question is, how hard is it to import to a Windows? I have a pretty old computer, and I don't have enough money to buy a new one, so I'm just wondering if I'll need to download a freeware converter. Thanks!

@krtica15 There's your answer. The flash does make some pictures come out with a slight blue tinge, though.

I think the reason your auto-focus was playing up on the keyboard was because it was set to focus on multiple points.

You can set it to focus on the central point of the lense which I found helped a lot. There are 3 settings for how it chooses to focus.

@krtica15 Xenon flash for still photos and it's mighty powerful!

[krtica15]

Can you please tell me, does it have a xenon flash for still photos or LED. Is it strong?
