Sony A65 video in low light

It is easy to use the A65 to tape video in low light if you remember two things, use manual focus and use movie dial mode to change the speed and f-stop. One can change the f-stop by holding the ael button and moving the front wheel. Here are some examples of using those reminders to make a video clip in a very dark place. The a65 was set to 60p the inside clips were shot under the same conditions.

Great, thank you, this video helped me a lot, Sony does not explain it at all in the manual because this camera is a piece of crap, now I got to find a way to return the camera back to Sony.

@TheSonoranscape Well, I thank you for the comment but really have to disagree with the comment that the camera isn't very good. I love the A65, it not only does wonderful video in 60P, it also performs its main function as a photo camera with greatness.

But that all is in the eye of the beholder, hope you go on to something that works for you.

I'm really sorry, the camera is made for general purpose, it can be good for some and not for others, it can't please every one. I spent $1,600 + for a f 1.4 Carl Zeiss lens to get good low light photos.

Over all, this camera is very good for what it is intended, Thanks for the video.
