This is from a post on another thread:
"The Panasonic HVX 200 is rated at 320 ASA. So for night construction scenes you will have to pump in quite a bit of light. But fortunately for you, i think there will ba alot of places to hide lights in a construction set right? Aslo make sure you dont shoot the camera wide open. f2-f2.8 would be desirable. I have shot wide open on this camera in low light situations, and the blacks come out milky, and grainy. Not the effect i was after in that situation. Another side note, when shooting dark scenes, it's a good idea for you to shoot looking through the eye piece rather than the flip screen. The viewing angle of the flip screen is very narrow, and you will be looking at the image with the wrong exposure if the screen angle is not exact. A way around this is to look through the eye piece.
a while ago when i was shooting with this camera, i was shooting the NTSC version (in singapore that shoots PAL). I noticed the kino pulsing. This is easily fixed in camera."
I haven't been able to get an answer there to this question: Is there a correct angle for
viewing at which the L.C.D. is most accurate? I'm usually above it a bit but it certainly looks
different from different angles. I often do not have a production monitor and do not use the
eye piece.
Also, does anybody know about the second comment and exactly how to fix pulsing lights in
camera? Thanks!
