  shooting low light hpx 500

  Posted by Tony Lugo on October 27, 2009 at 3:10 pm

  Hello,
  I’m Tony and I have a question. I’m looking to shoot a concert on Nov.21 and I’m having trouble with my settings on the hpx-500. Every test I’ve done has been wrong. Any idea on what settings I should have it on to get the most out of this show? I’m pretty sure it’s going to be a low light situation. Thanks for any help in advance.
  Tony

  When you say setting are “wrong”, do you mean you’re not getting enough “punch” in a low-light situation? I have not used this particular camera, but I believe that, like it’s little brothers, the HVX200 & HVX200A (I own both of these), it is not a great performer in low light (small chips, etc.). Please explain what you mean by “wrong”. Also make sure that your filter settings are correct (that you are not using the ND filters).
