Filming by night with hvx200 means lot of noises, but you can do great job!

I use to setup my hpx like this:

Scene file :
all to 0 (Apple Colour is my friend Actually)
Shutter speed to 350.0d (yes of course in film mode not video)

Fully opened Iris and Wide angle most of time.

sometimes I use 6db gain but I don't like using gain.

It should be great for you too.

Laurent.
