I don't understand!

I do you lock the ISO under low light?

With me the dam machine just do what "she" wants.

Never what i want.

It got power of will..

And so i only can get noise, noise and more noise.

go to the ISO and manually set it to the settings of your choice.

flickering due to 30fps with 50hz power ?

What do you mean ?

[derekcobra]

Hello Kilimats02,

It means when you use a NTSC 30FPS camera in a country that supply 50HZ power supply the lights will cause a flickering phenomenon. Of course this will not happen outdoors in SUNLIGHT. In the case when you use this CAMERA in USA the power supply is 60Hz of which will not cause this problem. So it is bad idea to buy a NTSC camera and try to use it for example in EUROPE or SINGAPORE.

What format does the camera record its video in? What video editor do you use?

[pblporto]

In my experinence i choose M, configure settings to a exposure i like, let's say ISO 400, f:2,8, 1/12 and take a picture.

Ok, no problem, it's fine.

But, when if i start the video mode, by pressing recording, the SX1 starts to work like "she" wonts, and changes the settings resulting in footage with lots of noise.

And, if i choose de video mode at the wheel, it doesn't allow to set any values, allowing only exposure and focus settings.

So, would please help me here?

Thanks

Pedro
